| Name | Marie C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I initially thought it was a firework & text'd my neighbor the next morning about it being a "firework" for MLK day? After the Russia fireball & seeing the video I was positive that I had seen a "meteorite" I was out walking my dog when the sky & everything lit up. I turned around when I realized where the light was coming from. It took me a while to process the whole thing & write it off as a firework. |
