| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tyler W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was significant enough to have me call my girlfriend immediately in the slim chance it was big enough to cause serious damage. I was just waiting for the object to come to a stop as I know many asteroids burn up prior to hitting the ground but it continued past the horizon and no longer in my sights. Crazy experience. |
