| Name | Dan T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a few fireballs in the past, this one was much larger than any I have seen in the past. I was actually surprised that I heard no sonic boom, but I was inside my car driving. Very bright green with very long greenish tail. Quite an awesome sight. |
