Observer
Name Meghan S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball was very large in the northwestern sky. It was so large I thought it might be something hitting the earth; I waited for an impact or explosion but there was none. It was very bright white with yellow/red around the outer edges of the fireball and a tail that was an orange color.
