This event was the most amazing one I’ve ever seen!!! Normally for me they explode at a much higher elevation and just fizzle out this came in and lit the sky up then when it exploded it shot the secondary like a missile behind it and when it blew up it was brighter then the main!!! And i followed the main until it went below the tree tops!
