I've seen a few astronomical occurrences in my lifetime but nothing like this. I'm an amateur photographer and I was too shell shocked to grab my camera!! But I'll never forget it either!!!

The glowing long trail was with it the entire time it was in my vision. From overhead until it looked like it went into the Silver Lake Reservoir. The glow of the fireball was very thick and then at the end very small trail. Everything was blue and white.

That was what caught my eye to look out the window.
