| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kirk F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south about 50 mph, and the sudden brightness out my driver's window caused me to look and see the fireball. I wasn't standing in a field just looking at the sky. There was little traffic, so I did get a good look at it and it was so bright, it left spots in my eyes for a moment. |
