| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | In full description, I was traveling east on 725/mismisburg-Centerville road. Crossing the inner section 725/mcEwin when I looked to my right at some businesses (submarine house, and the Vue) when I looked up above b a saw a bright trailing light. Which to me, at first, appeared like a huge shooting star. As I watched it sore into the distance, I was about to make a wish before it disappeared and then it blew up. I was so surprised! It was an explosion of orange and yellow, then it disappeared. I also thought it could have been a firework. But there was no sound and no more to be seen. The moon was full an orange. Craziest thing I've ever experienced on my drive home! Very cool. |
