Remarks First time in my life , I ever saw anything that bright , like a ball of fire , from the ground it looked about one forth the size of the moon and the trail behind it seemed to be a mile or more long, it blew my mine , and where it hit had to catch on fire because when it went to tree height it was still just as big! 1st time in my life!
