| Name | Michelle |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time! When the fireball first appeared, it lit up half the night sky with bright blue light! It burned and sparkled blue and yellow through the sky, and had a long tail as it went (no lingering trail though). From my perspective it was as big as the sun; it really was incredible! I\'ll keep checking back here to see if anything is posted about it! |
