Never seen anything like it before but feel extremely lucky to be in the right place at that moment to have seen such a spectacular object.
Hi Clancy,

Amazing indeed. Would have looked more spectacular for you out near darker skies!

I will google this and get back to you all . thanks for the jogging of my memory.
