| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Just that it seemed as if it was landing in my neighbors back yard, that’s how low it appeared when it flashed or exploded. I thought I saw a couple more flashes later in the night and wondered if there was a meteor shower happening, I was looking for any information online about what it could have been when I came across this and saw other people had seen the same thing. I saw one of the videos that captured it and that was exactly what I saw. |
