Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My husband and I saw what we think was a fireball while driving along Route 3A in Franklin, N.H. It started out appearing as a "falling star," then changed to a roundish, blue, glowing mass with white around the edges. It appeared to fall to earth within a quarter to a half mile from our location.
