Experience Level | 4/5 |
Remarks | My entire family of 5 all saw this bright, long lasting fireball. We heard a boom/crash a few seconds before the sighting but we are not sure if it was associated with our sighting. We are night sky observers and were looking up at the sky when it happened. Each one of us exclaimed, "OOOOOOOOOOH!!!" |
