It was absolutely huge and so beautiful. Made me feel awestruck, a little frightened and amazed at our incredible world. I feel grateful to have been able to see it.

The fireball started off white. Like a plane in the sky. Then it streaked white and there was a HUGE flash of green and then it was gone.
