| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It honestly looked like it was dropping straight out of the sky. This was witnessed by my entire family as we were driving. Based on other people's comments on Facebook, many people in eastern pa, western nj reported hearing loud gunshot like bangs around the same time. I really thought it was going to hit the ground and explode, but it just disappeared before impact. I've seen shooting stars before, and this was definitely bigger than that! |
