| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | While getting in car to go to Wal-Mart, my Boyfriend and I both saw a flash then this huge ball of fire falling/descending from sky. Oddly no sounds during/impact after it disappeared from view behind trees. My boyfriend who is a huge astronomy and science fan suggested it was meteor but then we both quickly agreed it was the biggest, brightest meteor we had ever seen. It was huge and the only thing I could compare it too is a big falling fire ball.. |
