Trailed across the sky from Orion towards me. I was photographing Orion at the time and was centimeters away from catching it in a 20 second exposure. Long sparky tail that went from white to an orange/red color before is fragmented into a green color and burned up disappearing over my head. Delightful thing to watch! Wish I had gotten the photo :(
