| Name | Robert G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was extremely dark out and I happened to be looking at the sky in that area at the moment it burned up. If I extend my arm straight out, the event covered about the length from my extrened thumb to my extended pinky finger. Very clear sky. For the majority of the event, before it totally exploded, it was like a mortar shell firework only 4 times faster and coming straight down instead of going up. |
