| Remarks | I was genuinely shocked and jumped up from my couche. I have seen falling/shooting stars before, but they were always white/yellow colliers. This star was Orange/red coloured, was large and left a trace of small sparkling stars. It was amazing to see and possibly a once in a lifetime moment! |
