| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was a lot of fire. I was much closer than the videos your site has shared. It was much larger than those videos from my location. The fire seemed to be erupting on the left side, slightly downward(direction it traveled) and the flames shot over the top of it like Sun flares randomly before it disappeared. It had a 35-40 degree downward angle....i shouldn't use math haha, it was a straight path down to my left and not quite as low as a diagnal line coming from the right angle corner I'd use as where it first appeared. You could see the object the flames engulfed....is guess meteor. Never seen one so close. |
