RemarksIt was very quick appearing and unexpectedly amazing to watch. The ball was colorful and beautiful with a descending white tail similar to a jet planes tail but not lasting as long. I had never seen anything like it before in my 73 years of life. I was driving and unable to watch the entire ending. I am not very well with degrees, but I was head south and the bright ball with the trailing tail appeared from the southeast heading north.
