| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am sorry I did not add my direction... if you feel it is important, I can figure it out. I was visiting an event in a different town, so I did not have my directional bearings. Lots of people had cameras there, so I hope someone was able to record this, there was a lot of excitement among those who saw it |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | it was so bright, a continual explosion of light that followed the trajectory of the object. wish I had the words to describe it, or at least a picture. at first I thought it was fireworks. I have seen many falling stars, and I know this was not one. It was so bright, and it shed light as it went |

| Remarks | this fireball was shedding light in a big wake as it fell down, almost like a sparkler would |
