| Remarks | This looked sparkly, like gold glitter. So as it streaked across, it looked like pieces of glitter trailing behind it. it got bigger as it went then just went out. At first I thought it was some kind of firework but the arc was just like that of a shooting star and the sky was still too bright for a firework to look like that. It was so pretty I couldnt beleive I had just seen it. Was the coolest thing Ive ever seen! |
