| Remarks | It looked like fire, unlike anything ive ever seen before like flames almost. Like a huge shooting star but pretty close. Short trail behind it and it didnt look like shooting stars ive seen before that appear to tear open the sky and last a while after the star is gone. This was shorter and thicker, it looked like a falling ball of fire. |
