Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | The fireball was a potent blue, then as it moved it divided into two yellow white spheres. The tail of the left side sphere left a tail of three small looking dots of orange color, that when it faded in a few seconds. I've seen shooting stars before but this was nothing like I've seen before. Incredible. |
