Observer
Name donna p
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks something happened to the shape of this brilliant fireball right before it disappeared on my horizon. i can't describe it. have seen meteors before & this was a ten in size compared to ANY i have seen. it reminded me of the car videos of the one in Russia years ago. so large i thought it could not be a meteor.
