| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I could see it thrtough the trees to my right on the horizon, it moved very quickly into a more visible part of the sky and was very very bright, really had no idea what I was witnessing, then it broke apart into still what looked like massive pieces of debree that were glowing and moving for about a second or so until they all stopped flowing, it really looked like it was rolling through the sky and as it slowed down and broke apart. Definitely looked circular, thought it was a shooting star at first but was just way too massive. It was amazing lol. |
