| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mike B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object was at my Zenith straight above me, stationary never moved, no streak or flash and seemed outside our atmosphere. Looked like a star until it grew larger in luminosity in a perfect circle. The light seemed to collapse back and the object disappeared. My thought was I witnessed a star exploding. |
