| Name | Lisa M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have never in my life ever saw anything like this. I never saw a red speeding object with a loud sound like that. I sounded like it broke the sound barrier, a sonic boom. I saw little tiny meteor showers, where it was a bunch of them happening and they were white and no sound, but nothing like this ever. I was in my bedroom, heard a very loud thunderous sound, I looked up to a window that is above the regular window in my room and saw a huge red object going down very fast and loud. It was a site to behold, but I didn't hear anything on the news or online about it. |
