| Name | Brian D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I did notice 2 other objects fall just prior to it, they weren\'t as bright and barely left an impression both seem to have the same heaidng as the 3rd one. 1st object hit looked like typical one only last like a second, then about a few seconds later another one, then a few seconds later the final 3rd one all almost about the same trajectory as far as i can tell from my perspective. i kept watching just in case anymore, when i saw the 3rd one I thought something metallic must be burning up like a satelite just droped out or something. |

| Duration | 3s |
| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | I 1st saw a white object come into view, it started out smal fast and bright white it had a small white trail behind it it looked like 6 inches if i could put a ruler to it, then it seem to almost stop like it hit something, then it speed up(i\'m guessing due to perpesctive) it turned into this massive pure Bright white light as if i was looking at someone welding. it didnt look like it was burning it looked like it went from the size of something as small as a grain of rice to something as big as a baseball. the 1st trail it left was not as bright after it slowed down then speed up the object then disapered right above the tree line near my house. the 1st trail last as long as the second brighter trail. |

| Observation | Unknown |
| Remarks | I\'m not sure what a Terminal Flash is, When i 1st saw the object it was a small bright white, it then Exploded into a Massive Pure White Light until it seem to just dissapear over the tree line, I didn\'t see any fragmentation but not sure if i couldo with how bright it was, it wa slike someone shooting a Flare or an welder wa spretty intense |
