| Name | Dan M |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | Upon seeing a bright flash i noticed the fireball falling from the sky at an exact 32.136 degree angle, from north to south. It fell at speeds faster than 10mph. I watched as it gingerly settled to the ground and began collecting grass and small twigs with which it began to construct its nest. Once this was done it calmly roosted in and began giving birth to its offspring. After a bright flash i began to hear the sounds of new born meteorites. Approximately 4, one being male, you could just tell. It was an uplifting and bewildering experience that made me question and appreciate the power of magic. |
