Remarks | A few minutes earlier, a very bright meteor flashed briefly, large and light blue or white in nearly the same place in the sky, possibly a bit further south. ALSO: I did not have a watch--the time I have posted is a rough approximation. |

Observation | Yes |
Remarks | The bright entry caught my eye, then a brilliantly bright, colorful flash occurred that then faded from a wide orange to a thinner yellow tail, appearing to be straight down but more likely (I suppose) moving away from me to the west. I thought that I saw brief black fragments at the instant of the colorful flash, but the occurrence was very bright and fast so I'm unsure. |
