| Name | Jordan C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This thing looked just like a shooting star but it lasted a little longer than the normal brief flash. Because it looked so close to the ground, (I know it’s nowhere close to us), I could see in the tiny detail it looked like a rock or a meteor. It was a decent sized thing not too big though… my boyfriend told me to pull into a parking spot and as soon as I pulled in is when I looked to the left, and there she was. I was the only person in the car who saw it too. At first, I thought it was just like a plane or something then I realized that was not. Fireball or not, This was something that gave me so much fulfillment about my life and I will never forget this moment. |
