Remarks
Believe it or not this is the 4th large meteor I have seen. The others had color ( 2 green and 1 red and blue). This one was the longest lasting and seemed big, cheered when it finished as I thought it might hit the ground.

Remarks
As it came closer to the ground (real close) it kinda mushroomed out and seemed a little brighter. Also had a pretty long tail and some sparks coming off it.
