| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kat F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was driving north on hwy 37 when I saw the flash. Thought it was a plan at first, and the angle of the descent worried me because it looked like it might crash at that speed. Suddenly seemed to explode while still descending, so I thought it was a meteor/fireball of some sort. Early morning, so couldn't see any fragments or trails in the sky |
