| Name | R C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | it defintely seemed to be a big object...I think from Russia I expected a sonic but didn't hear anything...in retrospect, I should have taken my constellation app, and overlayed it on the train of dust to give you better perspective. The light was so bright, I thought it was lightening, I covered my head, I thought a power line had come loose...it was almost directly above me...I've never seen a fireball that intense im my life (age 41). |
