Please put any additional remarks, sketches, drawings, etc. below:
Most vivid colors I have ever seen in a fireball. Musta been very bright.
Brightness estimate is just that since I am not accustomed to seeing things so
bright. Far brighter than venus, but not as bright as the moon if all of the
moons output was concentrated down to a point (ie, no afterimage)
