| Name | Donna S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I typed this in under the tail info but I couldn't get the degree to enter (which i was guessing because the fist/arm thing didn't explain it well) As I walked outside the ground and most of the neighborhood was lit up flashing white for about 2secs. I looked straight up the sky was flashing whitish 2secs, then I saw a yellow tail mixed with orange for 3 secs before seeing the green. As it continued for 5 secs the green got darker, the orange seemed less and the yellow had whitish/smoke that filled the area where it came from. I could see the white/smoke for 3 secs after the fireball was behind trees and out of my sight. |
