| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not 100% sure of the date and time, but I'm positive this was last weeks fireball. The next day my friends neighbor (I was visiting Mount Holly, N.C. from N.J.) told us that it had made the news. I would have reported sooner, but I didn't know that was a 'thing.' Honestly it seemed to move horizontally the whole time. I caught it early and saw it fly across a huge swath of the sky. Very very cool. Never saw anything like it. I thought a NASA satellite was crashing! Good luck! Tom |
