| Remarks | My son and I saw the phenomenon at 6:00 this morning. It was one of the most amazing things we've ever seen. It was so bright that at first we thought it was the moon behind a cloud until we realized there were no clouds. Then we noticed the huge dust cloud behind it and realized that it was possibly a meteor or something of the sort. We managed to get a couple of pictures and tried to get a video, but it disappeared, however we did get the trail of dust briefly on video. |
