Remarks | It reminded me of the remains of a gold firework trail after it explodes and is falling to the ground. Once the meteor burned out, it came straight down, streaked gold "sparkles" and there may have been a smoke trail at the end. It was very fast, but I distinctly remember the gold sparkle burnout. |
