Absolutely beautiful

[deapfreeze]

I was walking to work this morning about 6:25am. I was looking west about 30 degrees up from horizon when I saw a beautiful meteor blue green long tail traveling from north to south. It was as bright as venus and very large. It lasted about 4-5 seconds. It was amazing.. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#0000ff"><em>William ( deapfreeze ) Hooper</em></font></p><p><font size="1">http://deapfreeze-amateur-astronomy.tk/</font></p><p> </p> </div>
