I was with a friend of mine and we both saw it. We actually grabbed each other because it frightened us so bad that we thought it was going to hit the Earth. Although beautiful it was terrifyingly beautiful at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire 61 years. Absolutely literally breathtaking. We cannot stop talking about it. One of the most extraordinary experiences of my lifetime. I feel so blessed to have witnessed this and also with my BFF at the same time. Just wow.
