    My wife and I saw this while dining in Little Italy. It was amazing. At one point, it was began to look like a huge comet with the nose of it growing as it sped along. It was then interesting to see the air currents change the once straight line into the squiggly path you see above.

    We didn’t know what it was at the time, which made it even more amazing to watch. The pictures don’t do it justice. The sky was very dark and the launch trails looked like someone had painted with sunlight. The last swirl part with all of its colors left a beautiful imprint right before it disappeared.

    If you made this picture smaller, I will probably fix that problem in your template of everything getting pushed down.
