| Name | Amanda M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I mostly saw the huge flash that lite up the sky and the entire sky, and only BRIEFLY saw the blue streak, so I would rather you use just that information in your data for accuracy, but the flash that I saw was absolutely beautiful. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. I kept telling my daughter who was with me that I thought there was some type of explosion somewhere and kept looking for it. |
