|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Heard a dull "Thud/Boom" a few minutes after I saw the lights, the sound seemed to have come from the direction that the fireball originated from. I did not see the exact visual trajectory of the fireball- but I saw all the windows in my house light up and flash repeatedly at the time I listed. It lasted more than what I had initially thought was a prolonged lightning strike, which I am sure was the fireball now as the duration and colors of the light I did see were not normal for lightning- and there was a clear sky when I looked out after the initial flashes. |
