| Name | Tamara A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was fabulous! The sky looked split with the top Half dark dark navy blue and the bottom half a pretty purple pink orange and the fireball was so bright and white and big and looked like it literally dropped out from underneath the dark swipe of clouds and kept falling at an angle to the right down to the ground until I lost sight because it fell so fast! Too bright, too fast, and way to big to be a plane crashing down. |
