It was so beautiful and bright, I’ve seen many shooting stars and this by far has been the most breathtaking experience I’ve ever had. The blue color of this fireball was like a turquoise or teal possibly but none the less just a pretty! It last much longer than the shooting star and was so bright and vivid to see! I hope others have seen this!
