| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the most beautiful ball of fire & light I have ever seen! It appeared so quickly & so big. It burst into my vision like a pop because I was starring directly into the sky. It was a bright ball of orange/yellow with large bright light around it and a very long tail of bright light following behind. Tinges of red too. It lasted only a few seconds. So very fast, but slow enough to watch intently. Probably because soo large. I was on the phone with a friend & she said, I said "holy shit, holy shit, o my God" and then I described it to her. I was almost speechless when it happened. I stood up to follow it but it disappeared out of my sight going downward at a gentle angle and the house was in the way. AMAZING!!!! |
