Witness report-
It was the hi-lite of our three-ish nites! were about 150 miles S/SW from Hawley' strait down, 45* to the flash at the horizon! Green lead with a thick purple to gold tail burned into our retinas! About the third most impressive sky event I've seen. We were actually surprised we didn't hear the crackle or impact. ThePappawheelie
