| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | "In 2014, around 11 PM in Tela, Honduras, my cousin and I witnessed a spectacular dual bolide event from a soccer field. We saw two solid rocks (a large one on the left, a smaller one on the right) traveling slowly toward Guatemala and Mexico. The most incredible part was that the fire was transparent, like a glowing skin, allowing us to see the craters and geological textures of the rocks perfectly. The color palette was amazing: it had a bright green core, with flashes of blue, purple, orange, and red. They didn't explode; they majestically faded out over the Caribbean horizon. I am currently in the US and can provide a witness sketch of the craters and the plasma layer if interested." |
