It came from the Perseus/Auriga area from where I first saw it. It's lowest point was in a NNE direction from my viewpoint to the right and then below Dubhe and Merek in the Plough, it's tail faded, and it's head began glowing orange, then faded completely before it would have been seen going below the houses in front of me. |
