Observer
NameElizabeth M
Experience Level1/5
RemarksI am in Southeast Georgia & Me & my kids saw this at approximately 1:30am that night as we were driving home!!! We thought it was a meteor but it was so amazing we stopped in the road to watch!!! I saw it soaring across the sky with what looked like a trail of flames behind it....then it looked like some pieces broke off & we saw 4 smaller ones start trailing behind it....it looked like it was going down to the ground & we thought it was going to crash but a little before the treeline it burst into a ball of flames & then exploded into what looked like a million tiny firey pieces!!!
