| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 5s |
| Length | - |
| Remarks | It seemed to glow through the colors of the rainbow, it was wider towards the left of me and tapered towards the front in the direction it was traveling. It had sparks in the tail, especially at the top and bottom, in what ever color it was phasing through at the time. It seemed like a rather thick/wide overall train. I don’t know how to determine how long it was, but the whole meteor was big and brilliant overall. |
