| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeffrey C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The attached video was captured by my dash cam while I was driving southbound on AZ-71. The time of the fireball is not exact, but I can say it is between 21:40 to 21:50 AZ time. I stopped the car a few minutes later to upload the dashcam footage to my phone, and I made a copy of the video, so the timestamp on the video is not accurate. |
