| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I saw this bright green ball of glowing, beautiful ASYMMETRIC flames impact on the earth. I watched it stay the same amount of green strong fire all the way down to make an impact on the ground in the distance. After it hit there was an immediate yellowish half dome that was huge and covered the desert. It was beautiful and breathtaking and terrifying all at the same time. it was so close and blatant, I almost wanted to chase after it to see where it landed (I was driving due east on McDowell road by Hawes) |
