| Name | Candace M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | First time I've ever seen such a sight. I first thought of a shooting star, but it was not white and was far too close. (Not off in space). Then thought a possible firework because it was close and it was made up of the 3 colors green, blue with an orange tail that had a sparkler type effect on the end of it. However it was too large. Looked up a meteorite online and saw a remarkably close picture to what I had seen and was describing. |
