| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball fell down in an almost straight line and it felt like moving kind of slow. It was to fast though to warn others to see it. It was already gone. Sometime later I saw a normal falling star, and that went a whole lot faster than this thing, half a second, thin and white like you know them. This fireball was something very different, like I’ve never seen before in my life. Thats why I looked it up on Google, found this website and decided to fill in your form, which was interesting and fun! The fireball might also be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. |
