| Observer | |

| Name | Dennis M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is my second fireball, saw a large one in the 80s. This was much closer in appearance because the width was quite pronounced. Date is approximate within day either way, none of the people present made note of the exact time of day. Only two of the group saw it. Most were focused on a red orange waxing crescent Moon (forest fire smoke sky) in the opposite direction. |
