Reports Report 245af (Event 245-2015)

Observer
Name Teri W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This fireball was very big and bright and low on the horizon. It disappeared behind the Berryessa Hills. I expected to see a big explosion or fire or something. At first I thought maybe it was a plane on fire because it was daylight and I have never heard of seeing a fireball during the day. Wow is all I can say. It seemed so close.
