I have seen several "falling or shooting stars" ... but nothing like this ... this was very different!! The colors were amazing. It started small and white ... then as it shot across the sky it got bigger ... changed to blue ... slowed down and changed to green ... it did not have a very large tail or train. A friend of mine from Bowdon, GA (60 miles south of me) said she saw what looked like a ball of fire (it was red) ... at the same time I saw what I saw. But I did not see the color RED in mine.

When I noticed it ... it almost looked like a plane flying in the sky ... it caught my attention with the flash ... it lasted about 4-5 seconds ... towards the end of the flight it looked like it was burning ... as it got smaller
