| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I walked outside at the exact right moment to catch sight of this shocking sight! The fireball was amazingly vivid and so bright. I lost sight of it because of the buildings next to mine so I don't have a good idea of how long it lasted. For a moment, I was frightened by the peculiarity of seeing something so unusual... I wondered briefly if it was some kind of plane explosion. Even though I've seen shooting stars and at least one fireball in the past, I wasn't expecting it. The dusk sky made an incredible backdrop! Cool! |
