| Remarks | It appeared first as a normal whitish shooting star, moved eastward right under Orion. It turned more orange, to yellow to reddish, then got dimmer but still visible as a small orange object, then grew brighter into a green and blue with similar colored trail behind, eventually glowing white but and got very bright and big (bigger than Venus or Jupiter, which were also visible) until it eventually disappeared behind the mountains. It was awesome! |
