| Name | steven s |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen lots of meteor showers but nothing like these two bright orange fireballs - they were much brighter, closer, lower, and slower than I have ever seen. The two fireballs were connected by a stream of orange light. I saw them move south to north nearly horizontally through approximately one quarter of the sky, and then vanish. |
