WOW! Did anyone else see that meteorite last night? That was one of the most insanely beautiful things I've ever seen!

It was HUGE and appeared to be almost 1/4 of the size of the moon. That puppy was low and bright! It traveled a long way across the sky. Then it flared orange and a long orange tail formed behind it. Then it flared green still trailing a long orange tail.

WOW WOW WOW Did anyone else see it?

Oh wow, sorry to have missed that! I saw a large bright one a few years ago but this one sounds like it was spectacular 🙂

It was spectacular! It was like watching a moon burn up in our atmosphere. Truly a once in a lifetime event!
