| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared out of nowhere in the sky. I saw it then it burst apart. That fast, it was gone. It appeared to be very close to the Earth, I choose the middle section but it was just above the horizon!! I thought maybe it scattered pieces over Andalusia, Muscatine Iowa. |
