I almost got one earlier this year... While i was observing in Warwickshire
(UK) a beautiful -2 mag appeared just 5 minutes after my camera had been
pointing in its direction :((
It had all the characteristics previously mentioned(apart from its
exceptional magnitude !) ,slow,orange/golden in appearance and emitting a
trail of sparksdot it also left a short lived persistent train(lasting
approximately 1S)
It is one of my most memorable meteors so far,i just wish i hadn't pointed
that camera in the other direction !
