| Name | Denis W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was fast and it started out high from the west And ended low to the east at a south angle. The boom seemed to take about 40ish seconds and it was so cool sounding I wish I could hear it aging. I can see this sucker hitting near mid Saskatchewan Canada as it from my perspective ended low, very low on the horizon east south east. It was so red at first and the yellows were really neat, not sure if thats from the perspective and atmospheric conditions but I saw no greens or blues and it seemed to stay as one big bright ball but there was some other flickers streaming from it and the smoke trail was very visible for while. |
