It was HUGE!! Not only did it trail behind but it surrounded the whole meteor! It was about ten times the size of the “ball” part of the star! It glew bright blue!! The tail remained for about one second but disappeared rather quickly. The whole meteor was the same size all the way around. It was almost cone shaped and tapered but it was very thick. The tail wasn’t skinny at all. The pictures I’ve seen of shooting stars have a tail that looked like a line but it didn’t look like that at ALL!! It was very wide
