| Name | Brad J |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My first reaction, for a split second, was that it was a firework. Then I realised there was no sound whatsoever, not even a whooshing sound. It glowed red and left a smokey white trail either side of it that lasted a couple of seconds. It was directly above me. This is the second fireball I have seen. |
