| Name | Nancy D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The sky lit up with a great flash, then the bright ball (not perfectly round) appeared with falling fragments below off to the right. I had no idea what it was. Almost like fireworks yet I knew it wasn't due to the sky lighting up in a flash and no sounds. I thought maybe someone in the Gledale neighborhood shot off the distress gun a ship would use. In my 60 years of life, most memorable sight. So glad I awoke, for no reason, walked out on my front porch and looked to the east to see if sun was rising soon. I feel blessed! Amazing |
