| Remarks | As it passed over, 3-5 seconds long, the flash was like a ball on fire with slag in the train, but nothing fell to ground. At this time it is only about 50’ above me! I jumped up and turned because I was sure it would hit the ground and possibly explode but it just went out. I searched the acre behind where it should have landed to no avail. |
