| Name | Sofia R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in the roof top of The Colonnade Hotel. I have never seen something like this before. It was a fireball with tail. Red and gold, and rocky (it wasn't just light. It had a rocky body, not smooth. At least that was my impression. It was so bright and crossed the sky as it was diminishing on size. I tried to direct other people attention to it but it lasted just 2 seconds..? |
