| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The best way I can describe this, it was like the shooting star that goes across Cinderella’s castle in the opening to a Disney movie. But it was much thicker, not as arched, definitely more parallel with the horizon as it flew across the sky. It lasted long enough for my jaw to drop and my husband to have enough time to see my reaction, look where I was and witness with me. I think I put 2-5 seconds but it may have been closer to 5-6 seconds. It the fireball itself was shaped like a street lamp light, and was just as big if not bigger. I have thought about it everyday since it happened, and I am just so overwhelmed with happiness, that I got to experience this. |
