| Name | BORISLAV M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I had just finished loading the trunk of my car with the groceries that I bought from the walmart store and for whatever reason decided to take a look east, maybe the flash of light from the asteroid entering the atmosphere got into my peripheral sight, anyway when I turn east, it was already burning, at first I thought it was a plane reflecting the light of the sunset, I have seen that before, but the light was bright green-blueish, was moving way too was, and started leaving a short trail, then it dimmed as it was about to disappear, and then reignited again even brighter, before disappearing behind the corner of the restaurant that is to the east of the parking lot. |
