| Name | Cheri H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The first instant I saw it, it was a huge, super bright, glowing white ball, then a thick fiery tail of flame appeared, the fire burnt out and a large cinder dropped from it, then the white ball continued down and out of sight. I feel sure it hit the earth's surface somehwere. Maybe in the ocean? It was amazing!!! We were in the car with the radio on, and we didn't hear or feel any noise or impact. |
