| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Never seen anything like that in my life. Looked like a meteorite in very slow motion. I had time to walk around the house to keep watching it go down all the way to the horizon. From start of viewing to end was between 25 to 40 seconds. It was leaving fiery trail all this time. |
