| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting on my couch and saw this through the window. A huge falling flash of light streaked past at what seemed a much slower rate than most falling stars. Because I was looking through the window, I couldn't quite see where it ended. That is why I am not sure if it ended in a terminal flash of light. I ran outside, but couldn't see any fragments or smoke. I didn't know what I saw. I had never heard of a Fireball. I just googled large falling star and your site came up. Your description of a fireball fits exactly what I saw. |
