| Name | Dana D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My friend was with me and we were sitting in the car getting ready to drop her off, when I noticed the fireball out of peripheral vision over my right shoulder and it disappeared over the hills above Oak Manor, thus it could have been visible for a longer distance, but my viewing window was rather narrow. We both saw it. It was quite spectacular. It wasn't round. It was rather wide, like a boomerang shape. The color was white in front and red spots on the back. We feel very lucky to have seen it. |
