Name | Randy G |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | Was outside with others after a baseball game. Seen by myself first, and immediately pointing it out to others. "What WAS that?" (Both myself and my wife were present on Kootenay Lake last year when the EXTREME bright light that flooded the sky occurred, followed by a loud BOOM that literally shook the earth (fragments were found not far north of where we were... still being analyzed as we understand). This was not nearly THAT bright (the brightness on Kootenay Lake was literally blindingly bright) but last night's was very bright. Much brighter and MUCH larger than any of the stars/planets out that night. |

Remarks | About half way across the sky (it was traveling SE to NW from my position) it "split" into two fragments, then into 3 fragments, then they all 'went out' ... (no further light, no trail) |
