Observer
Name Gerald M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was bow hunting in luther ok opening day and just got into my ladder stand. Got situated and was facing west when i noticed a bright fireball coming out of the north sky.It appeared to be over oklahoma city and was trailing bits of fire as it continued south with its elevation decreasing rapidly.I think it to be about 25000 ft when i first saw it.I was transfixed on this fantastic sight watching it going down towards moore ok. I am retired pilot and investigator and knew it was going to hit.To my amazement nothing it must have burnt out. I ve seen several strange things but this was fantastic.
