| Name | Chance M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this. Unfortunately my dashcam memory card was not in but I saw a flaming ball falling from the sky. It appeared out of nowhere and lit up the sky, then was gone behind trees covering my view. Nobody I asked heard anything, and they would not have seen it being inside. Im not sure what it was but it was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in the sky and I would love to get clarification on what it exactly was, even though that is near impossible without footage. |
