| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside my house and saw this meteor through a window which is high up in a vaulted room. It was probably visible for much more than 3 seconds because it came into view from the upper right of my window frame and exited to the lower left. If someone told me it impacted the ground and asked to guess where it impacted, I would probably say somewhere west-central Oklahoma. This is only the second fireball I\'ve seen in my life, but it was every bit as thrilling as the first one! |
