I assume it was a meteorite, since I've seen about 7-9 in the last 7-10 weeks, but none as strikingly fascinating as this one. The others were all white and smaller; the typical "shooting star." What's odd is that I spot them the very moment I step out onto my back deck, within seconds. Had I not looked up within those 10 seconds, I'd have missed it completely.
I tried to find others who saw this natural beauty, but I came up empty-handed. I found one earlier in the night in Canada, on the wrong coast, and the day before in the state of Washington. Someone else had to have seen this huge and colorful swoosh cross the horizon so gracefully.
Sounds like kryptonite.
