| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was out walking the dog, I am unsure of the exact time, but it was between 12:20 and 12:30 AM. I was walking to the southeast when a bright light flashed behind me. I was like a car flashing headlights or a lightening strike. As I almost jumped to see what it was I turned to my left and a fire ball caught my eye. It was orange/red and disappearEd to the due east. |
