| Name | John L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball had a circular shape about the size of a pencil eraser held at arms length. The circle was brighter on the leading edge darker in the center. The color changed from green to a bright yellow. The trail was yellow / white, wider at the object and sharply pointed at the trailing end of it. After a yellow flash the fireball was gone and the trail persisted for a few seconds. Seemed very active, looked like fiery edges and not just a straight bright streak. |
