This is the first time I have seen anything like this. It was much larger and appeared to be much closer to earth than the ones I have seen during the darkness of night. This was just at dusk and no other stars were visible. The length of time it was observed was much longer than I have experienced before. The color was not white like the ones I've seen before. This one had a lot of pink and red with individual sparks behind it.
