| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jordan M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Time is approximate, accurate within five minutes. Fireball was observed by many in the audience during an intermission at miller outdoor theater. The audience faces south so most on the hill could easily see it, even over the bright house lights. Magnitude is also approximate due to bright park lighting and house lights, and lack of familiarity with such. |
