| Name | Melissa L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My dog was outside at the time, he started barking and scrambled towards the path of the fireball that I eventually saw (but wasnt aware at the time.) We let him in the house, he ran to the south facing side of the house, I looked for someone or something in the yard, but I noticed high in the sky something that looked like a shooting star, but bigger, like a small firecracker with a short trail. It was very brief, but it definately caught my attention, I've never seen anything like that before. It didnt move at much an angle to my view, its almost as if it had sailed over our house. No clouds over overhead at the time. |
