Remarks
I saw a blue , white and orange object shaped almost in the shape of a tadpole. The center was mostly blue with flecks of orange at times the trail and outer perimeter was mostly white. I have never meteor before but this object went across the sky until it was out of my view and it looked fairly large smaller than the full moon but much larger than any shooting star I have seen. Object traveled from east toward west and seemed to stay level across the sky.
