| Remarks | A bright blue smoke plume. It was still visible 30 minutes later, though it had changed in shape. I missed the last few seconds as the meteor moved behind some trees. A few minutes later I was on the other side of the trees, looking at the smoke. I could see the smoke until about 6:40am central. |
