Just a little while ago I saw the biggest meteor start above and continue in a southwestern direction.
It was an intense fireball with a huge tail at sunset.

Anyone else in this area see it?

We are stunned.
Wow.

This wasn't white and quick like we've all seen.

It was an orange, red, and yellow fireball at the head and the same for the base of the tail as it turned into a white long tail.
It lasted a few seconds.
