Remarks
An orange ball 3-4 times the diameter of venus arcing over venus as I faced toward the west. The ball started at a 2 o\'clock position approximately 20 degree superior to venus and arched over venus exploding at the 8 o\'clock position to the left of venus generating 7-10 fragments which left trails down to 20 degrees above the horizon
