This report has been linked to the following event: Event 5712-2018
Observer
NameLee G
Experience Level4/5
RemarksIt was very large looking. Meaning it looked much bigger then your average meteor you see burn very quickly first hitting our upper atmosphere. The color was one that I’ve never seen with a meteor either. It had a lot more orange in it then the bright flash of white or bright yellows normally seen. And it definitely had an arc as it was descending. And I lost sight of it behind a building several hundred feet away
