Remarks | PLEASE contact me if you find any further information on this! It took my breath away, as well as my 4 year old daughter\'s since she saw it too! Also, it would be a great record to keep considering it happened on my youngest child\'s 1st birthday! |

Remarks | 3 separated trails toward the end. All glowing white closer to the fireball... smoky beyond that. Quickly dissipated against the overcast afternoon. |

Observation | No |
Remarks | I first saw the flicker of a single source through my living room window, then quickly ran out front to see what it was. It almost appeared as though a jet was on fire and falling from the sky due to its forked fire trail. After a few seconds, it split into three fireballs with long white smoky trails. The two to the left burnt out first, while the third on the right trailed off in a rightward direction, almost touching the hillside. It couldnt have been more than 20 miles away from me, as the particular hillside it fell to is close to my home. |
