| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Paul S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was just walking my dogs... I have seen meteor showers. This was no meteor shower, it was something exploding, either on the atmosphere or in the sky. I'm not a UFO person, I just did a Google search to see if anything was on NASA or the news and found this site. Something blew up and hit to the Northwest of Greenville, SC, probably far to the NW, between North Carolina, Tennessee, maybe Ohio. Let me know what it was! |
