| Name | Ryan |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The size of the fireball scared me. Simply put, I thought if this hits, we\'re all toast. It looked so big that when I saw an airplane in the distance, in comparison, the fireball looked like what I assume a space shuttle launch would look like if you were standing beneath the launch pad. And before I forget, it seemed to glide across the sky from north to south slowly, as if saying, \"HEY LOOK AT ME!\" It honestly felt like many minutes before it disappeared over the horizon, probably the most helpless period of time in my life. Seriously, the sheer size of this object in the sky had me frozen with fear. If you need to contact me, do so at: solidfoundationfitness@gmail.com |
