| Name | Kim W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball went over head as my daughter and I were outside because of all the loud booming noises going on around 8:10 to 8:20 or so, just like earlier today that has been reported by many people. The booms were coming from the NW so we were facing north to NW when the fireball went over our heads. It was not directly overhead and came from an north easterly direction and headed west. Also, we had to estimate the exact time of the siting because we ran outside without our phones. |
