Too for me was a Leonid of 2001 (-4 -6a ?), it persisted for some minutes,
it is
the only persistent trail with colours that I saw, it was large around 1/2
Moon
(1/4°), it took a form of a snake and before of its end it do 180° from
original
direction, I saw really it move in the sky, I read many time in old
chronicles of
snakes or dracos of the sky and I thought all time that in the past men
drunk
many, but they wrote exact!
