| Name | Cyndi |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball flickered and sputtered quite dramatically until it fizzled out. I was at an outdoor concert even with 15,000 people present, and the fireball appear over the stage. There was an audible gasp in the audience as the fireball traveled across the sky, followed by mutterings of "what was that?" |
