or was it space junk? Wondering if anyone else saw this extremely bright and long lasting event. Bright enough to see plainly from the very bright Waikiki tourist area and to see it "explode," apparently leaving a glowing green/whiteish cloud at the end of its trajectory. Lasted long enough for one group member to tell the rest of us about it, and for us to have the time to turn around to see it over our shoulders. It appeared to our east and tracked to the south.
