| Remarks | The concurrent sense of something falling straight down while the whole system was travelling from East to West as a unit, with the initial streak that turned into a disk then reappearing as a squiggly trail, lit from below by the two chunks before it all faded. The initial streak starting at the edge of Ophiuchus/Scorpio, traveling down and across about where Mars was, with the two chunk finale at or a little past Dschubba/pi Sco. |
