| Name | Lena L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | what ever it was it disappeared in thin air right in front of me. toward the end of whatever it was it was moving very slow and maybe 50+ ft from the ground. Im 100% positive i was the last person to see it. It went out on where i reported last seeing it. I was total shock! it was the craziest thing I've seen. When i first saw it, I thought lt was a shooting star (I've seen tons in my life) . Then after a second , I realized thats no star! Too low, looks a orange/red ball with a lightsaber for the last 3+ seconds or so (thats when i saw the fragments, about a second before it was over) |
