| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Lifetime event, doubt i will see this again, magnificent observation to the point i got scared it was going to hit us. This location pin points the place where it died. We saw it extinguish itself in the air right above our head, so close felt like 200 feet above us, the boom was heard around 30 seconds after it extinguished. I estimate we saw it for 9 sec. Enough time for me to start thinking of running and hiding. |
