| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tara R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was like a shooting star in it's motion, but not at all alike a shooting star in it's intensity, luminosity, speed, shock factor, proximity to earth or size. It was huge in my estimate. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It was racing, just barreling towards earth and pretty much as soon as I actively became aware that something was happening, (I barely had a chance to think about what it could be...), it kind of quasi stopped or halted and imploded like it was collapsing in on itself. Then it disappeared leaving me beyond confounded. I nearly got hit by a car at this point. And couldn't refrain loudly from iterating and reiterating my shock using some very colourful words. I posted on Facebook to see if anyone else in my area had the same experience, and someone else had. As confirmed via written testimony. So, I believe I witnessed something special and strange. |
