| Name | Tara M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball we seen tonite at 8:00 pm was traveling very fast and left a very long train and it did not disintegrate high in the sky, it was very low to the ground. I've never seen anything like this get this low to the ground before it was gone. I was in my car at the time and before it disappeared, i would say it was maybe 300 yards from the ground..The train was a white color and the fireball was a bright orange. |
