| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The flash of light that caught my attention and lit up my room was bright white. However when I opened the blinds to take a better look, the white light had already disappeared; just as quickly as it started. What caught my eye was a spectacular sight to see. I was in awe of its sheer magnitude and gorgeous tones of vibrant colour. I was stunned by how close and low to the ground it seemed; as if it was barely above the tree tops. It looked like a massive ball of fire with an equally vibrant long, pointy tail; orange being the most prominent colour from one end to the other. It was moving so fast from West to East and seemed so low. It was descending toward the ground when it suddenly disappeared altogether with a muffled boom at the end. |
