I am just glad we were able to witness this. It was amazing. My husband watches Meteorite Men all the time and I have never seen him so excited!!

Remarks
It looked like a orange/red and green tail behind a huge ball and it lasted for what seemed like a long time but was only a few seconds. It was in the Northern sky and we were sitting at a stop sign. I have never seen anything like it! I am not sure about all of these questions or if I gave completely accurate answers! But answered the best I could.
