| Remarks | This was totally amazing, and I've never seen anything like it before. The first thing that came to my mind is an airplane exploded and was on fire, but there was no sound and then it veered off to the left. It didn't last very long and I Googled Bright orange light ball in the sky and saw the information on the meteor. |
