| Name | Scott T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was outside snow blowing my drive way. Both my 7 and 8 year old daughters were outside and also saw it. I thought at first it was lightning, looked up, and saw the blue streak fireball through the clouds. But we were all amazed and talked about it for an hour. We didn't realize how big of a deal it was until we read about it online. In my opinion, from what I saw, it was headed north by north west, and seemed like it was almost directly above us, I do not see how it could have been heading directly west. So cool! Scott, Lilli and Betsy. |
