| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jennifer V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | A bright white explosion that lit up the whole sky, then a bright white fireball with brilliant rainbow colored trail lasting about 15 seconds, followed by much less glowing train of debris. I left to go outside at about 10:40 pst, so time is approximate only. Wasn't outside looking before I saw it. |
