Observer
Name Chris B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The moon was big and bright tonight and we were looking at it as we drove home. This fireball was bright enough to steal our attention. It showed up to the right of the moon.)It was very bright and I almost thought it was an airplane that had lost control and was flying down toward the sky., especially because it was visible for so long.
