| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I had no clue about the asteroid almost hitting us till i seen the fire ball, looked exactly like they show you the sun on tv. A ball of fire. It fell straight down over miles iowa, possibly between miles and preston ia. It lasted maybe 3 seconds, right around 10:10 pm. I was driving home and seen it from the car in passenger seat. There was no sound that i heard. Just a ball of fire that seemed way bigger than any shooting star or anything i have seen before. Amazing, but scary all the same time. Would love more info on this since i cant find any record of anyone else seeing this. Thanks. |
