| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was pretty big in size. It was quick and fast as it darted from where it first could be seen in the sky to where it ended in a bright flash, leaving nothing but a thin cloud of smoke that quickly dissipated. I have only once before seen a similar incident back in 2002 in Clermont, FL., and seeing it second time many years later still leaves me in awe. |
