| Name | KEN T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was a dramatic show. 79 years old and have never seen anything like it!Wish I had been outside and maybe seen more.The whole night lit up for about 5 seconds.My guess - 60 degree descent, south by south -west direction.Ball about size of a basketball.Thought it might have hit not too far away but I have heard nothing from anybody. Cannot say for sure the date. My daughter saw the lit sky but cant say what day it was. I had sent an e mail to my neighbor to ask if he saw it. He did not but still has my e mail so I can find out the date at some point for sure. Problem is their son has just died and I cannot bother him now.Not sure if my arrows are all pointed right but direction was south by southwest,very steep descent. |
