I couldn’t believe how big it was! I saw it through my bedroom window and it was green and darker at the center with a bright yellow trail. It was about 3/4 as large and bright as the tesla rocket from about a year ago as observed from San Diego but it looked much closer! As it passed right before it went out of view I saw only the tail and it looked super bright, my roommate could see the reflection of it on the window including the color.
