| Name | Bill K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I watched to see if there was any explosion but it went on the other side of the hills. There was another man sitting next to me and when I asked if he saw it, he said, "Yeah, I saw it, that was weird." I was at a men's invitational BBQ so I don't know the name of the other witness or I would tell him about this site so he could add his perspective. I did not look at my watch for the precise time so the reported time is approximate but fairly accurate based on other scheduled events this evening. |
