| Name | Tim D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was brilliant blue / green, and appeared as an extremely bright point overhead. It moved slowly at first, then quickly gained speed as it moved across the sky, lasting around 2 seconds. I was in a busy area, so I could not determine if there was any sound associated with the fireball. |
