| Remarks | The front of the item looked like a fireball with glowing head of Orange, some red and like a sliver of purplish-blue indigo. The tail streaming behind was still that fire orange but had more bluish purple. So much so that I saw dark purple spots in the sky from looking directly at it. Kind of like looking at the sun too Long. |
