| Remarks | It had sailed left over the alley, above the neighboring houses and backyard trees, so I saw it flare out only as I was running into the school field to better watch from an angle... it flashed and fizzled out/disspated very quickly. The tail, which was quite thick and long, lingered for a nanosecond longer. It looked like a perfect storybook/comic book/animation/movie comet, and it flew straight out in front of me at a surprisingly low, almost horizontal trajectory. I screamed to my husband and daughter to look: he saw it, but she was too far ahead and missed it. It was startling and spectacular. |
