| Name | Stacy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Do NOT publicly post this but sharing for your research/data: We were driving on the 101, stuck in traffic - windows up, radio on, (hence did not hear any sounds) My friend and I were talking - when my friend, the driver, and me the passenger both witnessed the green fireball. We had no idea what we witnessed but asked each other, "Did you just see that?" NOTE: There are several other people who saw this in LA at the same time. I found them on Twitter, "favorited" their tweets. I'm surprised there's no reports. Thank you for your research and website! |
