| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Due to the tree line along the creek-bank in my line of sight, it was hard to see where the fireball might have landed. The initial explosion was high enough in the sky to see it begin to extinguish as it continued its descent, but its final destination is unknown. Very beautiful and extraordinarily bright considering the significant light from the moon that evening as well, but I guess having no city lights to compete has its advantages! |
