| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I had just downloaded a star finder app on my iPad and was looking up at the sky when the fire ball flew straight over my head exactly where I happened to be looking . Between the noise , the brightness and the actual size of it which appeared huge and trail behind it I was astounded I managed to witness this event . It appeared so low in the sky I felt sure it was going to hit the earth and I would be able to hear that , but I heard nothing . |
