Remarks It looked like a shooting star but so much brighter, and much larger. It looks like a yellow, orange, white steak of fire and it seemed way closer to earth than a regular shooting star. It lasted long enough for me to say “what’s that!” and for my boyfriend to look up and see the tail end of it. It literally looked like a streak of fire with sparks flitting off of it. It was absolutely incredible.
