Reports Report 1433a (Event 1433-2012)

Observer
Name Lori
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This fire ball was large and fast, it was first visible to me at a very high altitude in the north east and moved south as it dropped to finally disappear behind the tree line in the distance. I could not believe how long it was visible to me...I was truly expecting to see or hear it\'s impact. I have never, in my 42 years, seen such a sight.
