| Remarks | The "tail" sparkled as it passed in the sky and looked like a special effect from a movie. The purples and blues (cobalt comes to mind) in it were unlike anything I've ever seen, absolutely beautiful. The ball at the front disappeared first, the tail remained a few seconds and then the whole thing was gone from sight. There was no sound accompanying it. I just happened to be looking up at the sky when it passed. |
