Observer
Name Jenda H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was so dark I couldn't see anything falling after the fact. I didn't hear anything because my radio was on. It came out of nowhere and there was another car in front of me as well that stopped. It came down and was about as high as the telephone lines. It bursted into pieces and flashed. I saw a trail of light and bam it bursted.
