| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not sure about the system you gus use to describe the location of the fireball so I'll describe it here. I was traveling westbound on I-74 just outside of indianapolis. The fireball appeared to our left and traveled in the sky in what appeared to be a similar direction that we were traveling. For referenice it looked to us as if it were headed in the direction of Crawfordsville, IN which was our destination. I'm sure it's the same fireball reported over Illinois and iowa and other parts of the midwest... however I didn't see any mention of Indiana as a state people observed it from, so I thought maybe you would be interested to know how far East it was visible from. |
