Remarks The object first appeared as a single very bright streak, much larger than any other meteor I\'ve seen. After covering 4 - 5 degrees of sky, it nearly vanished, and became only a thin stream of sparks. A degree or two along the spark track, another large fireball flared (not quite as large as the first).
