| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Darryl D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Before witnessing the fireball in the sky, my back was turned from it. A bright blinking blue light surrounded me, so much so that I initially thought a police car with its sirens flashing was right behind me (but with no sound whatsoever). I turned around and saw the fireball and it disappeared instantly (moving straight down). Approximately 3 minutes later I heard a rolling sound, like thunder in the distance. |
