| Remarks | It was beautiful! I could see it in great detail. It appeared to have passed through a cloud and the light illuminated the cloud as the moon does to a very thin cloud when it gets in the way. The colors were like a torch; blue at the source, and trailing off in reds, yellows, and oranges. The tail was perhaps 4 times in length as the head. It appeared rather large too. If "." was a star in the night sky, then "O" was the meteor. I would love to be contacted if you think someone else reports the same occurrence, because I am pretty sure no one else on campus saw it. Thank you for reading this! Good bye and God bless! |
