| Remarks | this event was the brightest i have ever seen and had the longest hang time in the sky .it seemed like it was heading right for the city but seemed to fade out before it hit and turned into meteorite ,but not sure ,i am waiting to see if any one else reported this event , it was a very spectacular sighting and one i will never forget , it looked like a small sun heading down but first seemed to hang ther for a second or two before leaving trail and falling to the earth , but it was very bright and larger than most shooting star sightings that i ever saw in the past , the ones in the past i seen were tiny compared to this event tonight , im still amazed at what i saw !!! |
