I was walking looking down when I saw a bright, bluish light and looked up to see what it was. It was the most intensely bright meteor I have ever seen.

Remarks
The fireball was pretty big and bright. The trail behind it was more yellow and not as wide as the fireball. It was trailing very far behind it.
