| Remarks | It was the coolest thing I've ever seen, it was moving so fast but I was able to see it for a few seconds. It was huge! I thought this can't be a shooting star it is too big. I could see it was on fire, almost had like a crackling glow around it, and it had a trail which I remember to be bluish. The actual fireball was bright orange and red. I honestly thought to myself, oh my God this thing is going to hit earth any second, I literally braced myself for Armageddon! Not even kidding. I can't believe I saw that!! |
