| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'm taking an astronomy class at university now. I've seen fireballs in the past. This was the biggest one I've ever seen. It was rainbow colored light. Mixed with purples, blues, greens, and oranges. I wish I had a video. There must be some video of it. My time is approximate. It was around 1am-ish give or take a half hour or so. It's not exact, unfortunately. |
