| Remarks | At first when I initially saw the fireball, It was glowing red with yellow outside, following with a whiteish colored tail. The whole siting took about 20-25 seconds. When i saw it, It was already going to my left The total size was about the size of my fist and the tail was about as big as my forearm. ~16inches. The fireball died off near the end of the sighting and the tail continued for another 4 seconds. |
