Remarks | This was the most bizarre astronomical phenomena I've ever seen. It was extremely vivid, bright, compelling, and angelic. Also, I was with someone who saw it as well. Ever since this particular sighting in January 2022, I have seen at least two dozen meteors and asteroids in my area and beyond. The last time I saw an asteroid was yesterday, although quite small but still amazing.Most of the asteroids I have seen left trails behind, and some of which have been quite bright and sizeable. I am not sure what is going around here in regard to my ubiquitous sightings within the last year. Every time I go outside and look at the stars, I am almost guaranteed to see some perplexing astronomical phenomena, which is absolutely amazing. |

Remarks | It was a massively white bright light, almost as bright as the sun. It came very fast and did not leave any visible trail. It seemed to be a supernatural light and I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was such a clear, white, almost angelic fireball that was an overwhelming sight. I witness meteors and asteroids very often around this area (which is absolutely amazing) but nothing like this huge, supernatural light I saw a nearly a year ago (Cape Canaveral is a thirty minutes to the north as well). |
