| Remarks | just an amazing sighte we saw as we were driving home tonight. out of the corner of my eye i thought i saw a shooting star, my kids saw it too, but it was very very bright, then it just exploded. this happened in a matter of seconds. my daughter actually thought it was a plane crash and my son said it looked green to him. i was driving so i looked as much as i could as i hit my break when i saw the flash explosion. never seen anything like it, simply amazing! i hope to find out exactly what it was me and my kids saw, it will be a Christmas memory forever!! |
