NameStephen R
Experience Level1/5
RemarksStanding outside and noticed things lighting up like a lighting strike. Looked up and saw the bright meteor. Bright slow moving with strobe and small fragments coming off. Duration of around 5 seconds. Deep low sonic boom came less than 5 minutes but now sure how after viewing fireball. Boom wasn't real loud like something that would wake you up but could probably be heard if inside and awake. Very low sounding boom lasting around 4 seconds after initial louder boom.
