Remarks When it started to get about a 35 degree angle, it lite up quickly for a brief moment with a larger ball of light and it seemed to change three colors briefs. I saw just for a split second the colors of white, orange and a bit of purple that seemed to quickly trail off. To my surprise it still keep a large white large ball. I lost it over the trees. I was on my cell raving about it so I didn’t hear anything. But it concerned me that it hit somewhere due to the how low it was when I lost it over the trees. When I lost it, it was at about a 15 degree angle. I was shocked due to how low it was when I lost it; the current size, speed and velocity. I have witnessed plenty shooting stars in my life, but this was very low and still very active (still large in size) when I lost it over the trees. I don’t see how it could have physically incinerated by the time it reached land. I live just outside of Philadelphia. Its very heavily populated. I’m convinced there will be multiple reports not too far off mine. Hoping no one was hurt.
