RemarksI was looking south-south east when i notice a fireball (red/orange/white) with a tail streak across south-west to north-east with a downward trajectory. The encounter lasted approximately 3 to 4 seconds. it gave off a flash/explosion (mainly white/light yellow with some orange and red.) right before I lost visual. It seemed too have broken up and/or fell behind the tree line and out of view directly after the flash. I would also like to say, it was absolutely stunning. Never seen anything like that.
