| Name | M D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared like a bright ball in the sky. Then all of a sudden, it seems to fall rapidly straight down then shifts diagonally 15° with a long trail or tail behind it. Then it looked like it hit something invisible to me, it bounced then exploded into smaller firballs (like a sparkler but much :)bigger) then it looked like it burned out. I have never seen anything like it!!! |
