| Name | Jacob G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Im prior military and worked around explosions frequently, I could feel the boom in my chest the same as a shockwave about 3 minutes after the fireball disappeared. I first thought it was lightning from the color and how it was lighting the whole sky and causing shadows. It started out of my view due to being on a porch but ended directly in my field of vision. It seemed alot slower then meteors I have seen. It was also very large compared to meteors, I would estimate between the size of a nickel or quarter at arms length. It also didn't seem to be perfectly circular. |
