| Name | Andy P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the biggest thing I’ve ever seen fall from the sky. Thought it was a plane at first but, it wasn’t blinking. As it got closer, I saw the fragments break off. It was moving slow and I watched it for probably 45-60 seconds. Seemed to be about the same speed as a jet airliner which was odd but, this thing was glowing orange and visible to the naked eye. With night vision it was amazing. |
