| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I honestly thought there would be some significant event associated with this fireball. It was the largest, brightest, lowest ball I've ever seen. I've never seen one blue either. It was either very close to me or, if indeed it were far away, their would be a lasting effect on the Earth- who knows what!. |
