| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Katelyn M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There was no sound during or after I witnessed the fireball, but myself and friends heard a strange sound maybe 10 minutes before we saw it. We couldn't identify it, but the sound alone was almost as chilling as the sight. I'm not sure the exact time, but it was right around 930pm. The whole experience made me a little uneasy, but I can't put my finger on why exactly. |
