It was absolutely gorgeous, I kept checking the reports to see if anyone else had sent it in. There was a shooting star much smaller a few minutes after. The night was clear the moon was Waning Gibbous.

It just looked like it caught fire and burned up at the very end. It stated more green then turned yellow, orange-red as it moved further down the trajectory
