| Name | Elizabeth H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am so excited about this! At first I thought it was a military thing, and I braked. As soon as I'd slowed a bit, the event was over and I realised that since there was no terminal explosion... I'd seen a fireball. I will be happy to hear from you! By the way, I'm not exactly sure about the precise minutes (22:18? somewhere near that. I tried to remember it but I was too excited). |
