| Name | Juan E |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball, never went burnt out. It just got further and further away until it was out of my view. But it appeared to me like it was just getting started and it looked like it kept on going. The speed of this thing was fast. But not as fast as a shooting star that you have seen in the sky. They usually fly so fast that you have to be looking in the sky to actually see them before they burn out, and they are usually like a very fast streak. Lasting less than a couple of seconds. Not this, I watched it fly through the sky for about a solid minute. |
