Duration: 5-10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Ventura, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Changed Colo

A very bright star, that flickered like a little like fire for about 10 mins and then disappeared.

Saw a flickering light in the N sky. At first it looked like it was moving but I wasn't sure about that. Then I assumed it was just a bright star and that I was mistaken about the movement. Then I watched it for about 5-10 minutes because I thaught it an unusual flicker for a star. Then it faded away in about 3-5 seconds time...virtually dissappeared. I have never seen a star fade away like that. It was a very clear night.
