Observer
Name Eugenia M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was with my 12 year old Grand Daughter waiting on her school bus at the top of the hill when we both saw it fall across the sky and down. it seemed so close like we could almost touch it. it looked like it crashed either in Greenville or Johnson City. It was a wonderful sight but I was also worried because it was huge and I said a silent prayer that wherever it landed no one would get hurt.
