| Name | Jennifer H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on interstate I-75 in Tennessee heading north somewhere between I-75-TN-11 and I-75-TN-20. I think I was on/near White Oak Mountain. So the address was a guess from Google maps. I was traveling downhill coming off of the mountain so the precise angles are probably not anywhere near correct. Sorry! This is my 2nd fireball to see. My first one was December 18, 2017 from my home in Cleveland, TN. I am SOOOOOOO blessed! |
