An intensely bright white light fell vertically from about ten degrees below the outer lip of the Big Dipper, falling about twenty degrees, changing from intense white to an even more intense blue and finally a luminous green before extinguishing about ten degrees above the horizon. Much brighter and larger than any of the Perseids I have seen over the years and much earlier in the evening. Doesn't seem to be a Perseid at all. I don't know how to judge magnitudes but this was the brightest thing in the sky by far.
