| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jill S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | it was like an extremely large/bright shooting star with a fragment that came off at the end so felt it had to be something else, googled to see if anyone else saw and found your sight, I'm nearly positive this was a fireball. The time was a guesstimate but within 10 minutes or so of 9:45 pm |
