I saw a sight tonight that I would count myself very fortunate if i saw one again. The biggest brightes fireball I have ever seen!!! It was huge! Fell from zenith to about 20 degrees above the eastern horizon and was much bigger than a full moon at its peak . It was so bright (it was before the moon was up) trees were casting shadows. And brilliant almost electric arc greeny white, with sparks of red and orange breaking off it. Absolutely awesome. And the tail was enormous. But one of the strangest things about it was that as it was dying and fading it slowed right down so that if it had stayed alight for another second or two it would have been almost stationary.

Totally wicked sight.
