Name | Michael S |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | This sighting was in the morning and it was fully light outside. I have not seen such a thing during the day. I immediately got on the internet when I got home to see if anyone else reported anything. As I said before, it was moving very fast and I saw it travel a long way. It was amazing. I hope somebody else saw this, so I\'m not the \"crazy\" one living in my house. Thanks. |

Remarks | It seemed to get somewhat brighter for a flash of a second but continued to be a fireball as it traveled out of view over the horizon. It was extremely fast, faster than a shooting star. |
