| Name | Brenda P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There were four of us standing outside on the grass at our lake house at Lake Lanier (so, big open sky area) looking at the beautiful sky with pink clouds as the sun had just set over to our right (so, sometime around 7:00 to 7:15pm). Then I saw this big fireball and yelled to the others - "Oh my God! Look! Look! Look! Look at that! Look at that! Look at that! Wow!" As the other three looked and the big ball appeared to explode into 3 pieces that shot off into 3 directions (and several tiny balls as well). Then they all seemed to explode and disappear. Wow! It was amazing! Feel free to email or call me! |
