| Name | Christopher L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Happened so fast that I questioned whether I saw white flash(had a flashlight), that made me look,and if I heard a muffled pop after fireball explosion resulting in fragmentation and very quick fizzle or disappearance of everything.Weirdest/brightest/largest/most close/largest explosion falling/shooting star I have ever witnessed.Was looking at slice of moon that also seemed close and blurred on inside edge of shadow of earth? But not blurred on curved outer edge of moon was what I was looking at when bam!Was kinda scared more was coming.Crazy. |
