| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Chris H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The event lasted for about 2-3 min. The fireball seemed to get smaller and the smoke trail fainter. It either disintegrated or disappeared as I watched. There were 3 family members who viewed this event with me. We all thought it was eerie how quiet the sky was after the ball turned from white-yellow to orange-red. |
