Very cool! Love space science. I’m 47 the longest sight I’ve ever seen. Don’t like your degree to arm length question to me it was 1 inch to 1.75 in length of the tail from my point of view.

Remarks
Glowing by far the brightest and longest I’ve seen. “Shooting star” on occasion here this was some thing different. Lasted long enough to question satellite or meteor burning up.
