Observer
Name Jennifer C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Spectacular sight! I only saw the fireball after it turned (from red to) green toward the end and disappeard behind the trees. I viewed it for approx. 1-2 seconds and It was quite bright and easy to see. We were facing South and four others in our group saw it from the beginning when it was red.
