| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was distracted at the time but when I looked up I saw the fireball ignite and streak down towards the horizon the dissappear like it burnt out. If I had to describe it, it was like seeing a spark from a campfire, but it was the moment when the spark starts coming down and vanishes. Near instant. |
