This a relatively large and bright fireball. With a beautiful light orange core and outstanding bright blue circumference and tail. I do not recall seeing one disappear for a split second like this one did. Since I was driving with the radio on I wondered if there was any entry boom with it. I really enjoyed this one!

For a split second the glow actually seemed to disappear at its lowest point and then reappeared with a bright flash.
