| Remarks | i know your going to suspect this was a firework as it was news year eve, but in no way was this a firework. It was in a very remote area, very little people live there. This was spectacular, i saw the meteor in incredible detail. It was mostly 98% white light with a slight blue tinge of colour on the end of the burning tail. The actual ball of light was half the size of a full moon, it was a very clear sky, no clouds. The stars were very clear to see. The speed and angle from the meteor was clearly coming from space and the light stopped entirely about 20 degrees above the horizon. |
