Observer
Name Deborah A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was facing a window and saw this through closed blinds. There was enough of a slit to see it as it passed through the blinds. The flash was very visible through the blinds. I couldn't see it well enough to know it is had fragmentation. Plus it went behind trees so I didn't see it through completion of the event.
