| Name | Howard C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was an extraordinary experience, I’ve seen plenty of shooting stars around the world but never seen anything of this magnitude. Shape was full circle, incredibly bright fire ball, akin to a half sized full moon dropping vertically out of the sky at incredible speed. It seemed so close I was expecting an explosion. I checked on Flightradar 24 and the only flight in the northern hemisphere at that time was flight CZ312 China Southern Airlines Toronto - Guangzhou. |
