| Name | Richard W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Man that thing was huge and headed straight for us, when it suddenly changed trajectory and disappeared into the horizon.If you ask me there is somebody down here with that could not allow it to happen. Also I couldn’t get the degrees right and all that. I saw it enter the atmosphere and watched till it went out of my sight. My first thought was we are all dead, no doubt. Two of my friends were with me , we all saw it. chris said it was a falling satellite, Jacob , no comment, and like I said if it weren’t for that someone whose down here with us, who cannot die in such a way, it would have been lights out in London , Bro. |
