| Name | Jos M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was a helicopter crashing, then i realized it must have been a shooting star or space debris. It was brilliant white light almost like chromium. It seemed to explode or burst into a round shape, then it became thin and fell to the ground. It did leave a trail of light before the burst which dimmed after the burst. It came straight down, no angle. I was looking north west when it caught my eye. What a sight! |
