| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cruz S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We saw a colorful streak for a couple seconds followed by what looked like a big, white explosion in the sky. We were driving home from up north so we are not sure of our exact location and did not look at the time when it happened. It was truly an amazing sight, yet a little freaky too. |
