Reports Report 11a (Event 11-2004)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rylan K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Long time ago, but I my companions remember the event clearly as well. We were walking south-ish in a dark field, looking downward and all of the sudden we could see our shadows and all 3 of us looked up to see a fireball coming from directly behind us, (also, the other two claim to have heard the same sound as I) heading in the same south-ish direction we were walking. We all let out a “whoooooa!” As we stopped and stared watching the bright point break - May have been more than once - and the glowing streak slowly fade. |
