Observer
Name m c
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was such a neat experience, all few seconds of it! I briefly thought it was a plane blowing up - it seemed that close. It's direction/angle was almost straight down, and I also thought it was going to reach the ground, as it seemed to have that much speed and was so large (hence thinking it was a plane). My brain couldn't put it all together that quickly with the fireball size & trail. The person I was with didn't see it, so then I wondered what I really saw. It was kind of crazy, but very cool!
