| Name | Elise V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this yesterday and did not mark the precise time, but I know I called my husband afterwards. No one else I was with saw it, but I described it as "fire falling from the sky" -- I told him it was definitely not fireworks -- it looked just like fire, which is why I chose three colors. I could not figure out how far away it was -- it looked like it could have been something small that was close to us, it was so detailed and bright, but it makes more sense now that I know what it was. |
