| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not sure whether it made any sounds, as I was driving with my windows up, right about where 79 and 279 connect just south of Wexford, Pa. The cool thing is that I'd just turned the radio up about a second before observing the fireball, because Age of Aquarius by The Fifth Dimension had just come on. It couldn't have been more fitting! What an amazing experience. |
