| Name | Don B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was fully expecting to see an explosion when I rounded the bend on !-78. It was the largest one I have ever seen, and it disappeared pretty close to the Earth, so i thought it could have caused a blast just across the Delaware River in NJ somewhere..I was travelling EAST on I=78 and the Meteor came down South to North at a pretty steep angle before disappearing. The Green color STOPPED before it impactyed Earth for sure. |
