| Name | Kevin T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | What struck me most about the object is that it appeared to have legs or in other words, there seem to be a central object falling and just like in ancient paintings it had several legs of Fire on the backside of it and I had never seen anything like that. I have seen many shooting stars but this was much much bigger and much brighter. I honestly for a minute got scared and thought that it might be some sort of rocket and I was expecting a big bang when it disappeared on the horizon, I assumed it definitely fell nearby in the direction that I indicated. Definitely the largest and most impressive object I have ever seen in my life. |
