Name | Megan K |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | I've NEVER seen anything like this. At least not to the brightness, width, leinght, colors, trails, pass over the entire sky and feel so close. I have seen one amazing ball of fire cross the entire sky one time in my life as well as other small ones, meteor showers and haleys comet. This was epic. |

Remarks | There was no glowing ball. It was fragmented like fireworks with many trails of tiny debris that dragged behind, slowed down and went out. The front of it was about a half a fist wide (at arms leinght) with many colors. As the debris tailed behind it and slowed down the colors faded from yellow to white and went away. A few of the fading trails were as much as 6 fists behind the front. |
