Remarks it was a very bright light, if you held up a dime at arm\'s length, that\'s how big it would seem. When first noticed it was a light with a tail, no colors, it didn\'t seem to be moving as fast as a normal falling star up in the sky. Then it turned into bright greens and blues, orange pieces coming off of it. It was heading northeast. My daughter in law in Columbus MT also saw it.

Observation Yes
