Observer
Name Matthew G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw what seemed to be a fireball while driving north to Green Bay. It appeared very close to ground as it streaked from East to West right over I-41. I remember seeing a water tower to the west of the highway moments after witnessing the fireball. There was a tail behind the ball of light.
