| Remarks | The most amazing thing that I have ever seen in the night sky. My wife and a friend were sitting around a camp fire and observed the meteor from different angles. My wife and friend were looking towards the lake and saw the whole lake light up from the glow, I saw the look on their faces and then saw a large fire ball with what looked like sparks flying behind it. Several seconds later we heard a loud boom, there were no clouds in the sky so it could not have been thunder. Absolutely incredible, my wife recently lost her engagement ring, we both made wish’s hoping for its return |
