It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I just wish our valley wasnt experiencing high pollution levels blurring the sky's this night. I wish I had my camera out. But by the time i realized what it was i was looking at it was already gone! But is A sight that wont soon be forgotten! Love you Shyla♡

Remarks
It was A grayish tail that stayed bright but not as bright as the fireball. For a 5-8 seconds before dimming out. But there appeared to be a void like streak (with no glow) in the sky that stayed abit longer before disappearing altogether!
Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
When I first seen it it was like it burst and then shot across the sky. As if it's starting point was from in the middle of the sky over the Superstition Mountains.
