| Name | Laura F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have NEVER seen anything like this before, and I’ve seen SpaceX, planes, military (we are next to Camp Pendleton), but this was HUGE and fast, and unfortunately the beginning was blocked by patio overhang, then went below horizon. I did wait to see if there was an explosion (like a crash), but nothing. Was amazing to see. Seemed soooo close, since it was so wide! |
