| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lucy M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I can’t imagine this was anything but a metorid. The glowing tail as long as my arm lasted for 3 seconds and disappeared, looked like a baseball on fire falling to earth. Driving it fell across our line of vision, really incredible, very low to the horizon. |
