| Remarks | While having a cigarette out my window I saw the streak of light in the sky, followed by what appeared at first as orange fireworks with blue and white sparks. I started to pull my head into the room while a white ball increased in size within the tree line in the distance. I was bracing for a boom due to the intensity of colors. |
