| Name | Juan M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This is the first time I observe a fire ball this big and that lasted for almost a minute. Since I’m used to seeing fireballs just go by real quick, I didn’t pull out the phone to record how it actually entered the atmosphere.. thinking it was going to disappear quickly, but today wasn’t the case, it lasted a bit. I just wish I would’ve recorded since it entered. |
