| Name | Scott D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Sitting out on balcony with my wife and we both saw the fireball in the east sky falling north to south. I have seen shooting stars before and this was not the same. Shooting stars in my experience typically appear tiny and shoot across the sky. This was larger, more prominent and detailed but still distant. No sounds were related. By far, the most awesome sighting I have experienced! |
