| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Alastair D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen fireballs and shooting stars before, but this was the biggest thing I’ve seen fall from the sky. It stopped me in my tracks and I nearly fucked when it passed the tree line because I was expecting a loud boom or shockwave. Very cool but a little scary! |
