| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ariel R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was lying outside in a soccer field around 3 am, and I heard what I though was an airplane passing. I was close to an airport, so initially I was slow to react, but then I looked up and saw a large white mass followed by a blue, red, and green tail. Before it hit the ground it exploded and the fragments splayed out and then it was gone. My friend and I were in absolute awe! |
