On Tuesday morning around 4:30AM August 30, I witnessed a "shooting star" off my balcony. This was by far the widest tail of white-blue light I have ever seen. It appeared from my left and was headed right. (like a rainbow shape only consisting of white and deep blue colors) Right over the city of D.C. (or at least it looked that close). I never before followed a meteorite like this one. I noticed that after it crashed into the atmoshere (maybe final layer) it turned into a red firey ball and bounced back into space like a pin ball untill steadily rising up like a heluim balloon. Amazing! to say the least.
