| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrea V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object was extremely bright and large, and upon what I assume was impact I could see very distant yet VERY bright purple, green and pink flashes which lasted for a good couple of seconds; maybe two or three seconds. I only saw it through my bedroom window, so I caught the last glimpse, a good 5 or 6 seconds of the whole thing. |
