Reports Report 427a (Event 427-2015)

Observer
Name Laura M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving in an area with little cars and light. I though that I smelled something burning and for some reason decided to look slightly to the right and up through my windshield. That is when I saw the fireball in the sky through the top of my windshield. I went home and checked Twitter and saw a tweet from @ScoutDriscoll who tweeted that she saw a blue fireball on the north side of Chicago #meteor.
