| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I really thought the earth was going to explode when it hit earth and was waiting for a loud boom. I don't know what this object was but it looked to be burning up in the sky but lasted longer than a normal shooting star by a couple seconds. I normally observe meteor showers when I can this is nothing like I've ever seen before. Vibrant blue tail with an orangish reddish yellow ball at the front. |
