| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ellynn S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was just like that Russian one but not as grand. I saw a really bright light on my left while I was driving, like someone had highbeams on me. I look over and i see a red/white ball leaving a streak of red tail behind it, then it exploded in a blinding flash, some pieces fell like a spent firework then it was dark again. I know exactly what time it was because I immediately called my husband at home to see if he saw it. |
