Reports Report 7377h (Event 7377-2021)

Observer
Name Jeanne E
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just that it happened so fast. We were star gazing from the road and i saw out of my peripheral vision the brightest light. It happened so fast. I missed the trajectory from the sky and only caught the last of it. But i was stunned. I went back the next day and walked the field, honestly thinking i was going to find a huge burn mark in the ground. My friend was facing the other direction and did not witness it.

Remarks So i only saw this as it was already quite close to earth but it looked like a humungous white star that , even tho it made no sound, looked like it silently blew up and shattered into splinters and was gone into earth. Like IF there had been noise, it would have been a huge explosion. You could see it.
Fragmentation
Observation Yes
Remarks Again it looked like it just shattered outward like a huge explosion of light fragmented
