NamePolly T
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI have never seen anything like this. The fireball was very bright yellow orange and about the forth the size of the moon when it is full. It burst into view, then had a trailing light yellow tail- then poof it was gone. So glad I was in the right time and place to observe this spectacle!
