Observer
Name Lisa and Alphie M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks There was a lot of activity in the sky of what looks like stars moving around from every direction. More than usual. The fireball started from behind me and it lasted long enough for me to get my childs attention while he was playing and show it to him. I was facing south looking straight up and I began seeing it from behind me northwest from my position.
