It was the biggest and brightest thing I have seen go across the sky. It seemed much closer than shooting stars I normally see.

Remarks
It was bright blue and green and it lasted a long time after the ball went by. Long enough for me to notice and say “look a shooting star” and 10 people around me to look up and see it as well.
