| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was talking to my mom and happened to be looking out of the back window of our house when I saw it. It was extremely bright, and looked pretty large. It was really cool to see, but also alarming bc it looked so big. It only lasted a couple of seconds. I ran outside because it looked like it would produce smoke if it impacted the earth but I didn't see anything. I've been checking here and elsewhere to see if someone else would also report it. |
