Golden Meteor

Looking toward the southwest I noticed a gold colored light. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and plane-spotter. This light ontinued to grow in size and luminosity. I then recognized the light to be a meteor with 2 peculiarities: it was travelling West to East and it was a shimmery gold and monochromatic. It was also probably the longest duration event I've ever witnessed.
