| Name | Heather N |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very spontaneous. Out of no where. Made no noise. Nothing broke off from it. Came from down to left up. But very quickly. Was a perfect streak of very bright light and at end before disappeared was like a poof of a perfect round fireball. Was perfect. Was very neat. But odd. After it I saw floaters in my eyes like little bubbles, I'm thinking bc it was bright! Was like seeing a shooting star but extremely low like a self combustion of some sort, and during daylight! But saw it with no problem! I was only one that saw it! It was not a fire work, or fire cracker, but I'm almost certain it was a fireball! |
