| Name | Leslie F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | it was wild because it looked close, not far away, i mean it looked like it was only 20 feet away, which of course is not the case, & it was so bright, it was well defined,even though the ambient light of white garden (holiday) lights line my entire carport, which was the direction i was looking in.... the glowing blue ball in the front of it looked like it was 20 ft or less away & the size of a softball!!! . also, I'm not sure how helpful the STANDING caricature in the excercises on your website were to determine the perceived height of the fireball, because i was SITTING in my little Honda car (low to the ground). But this is a cool website, Thank You for doing this :) |
