| Name | Sarah F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am totally an amateur at seeing objects in the sky but driving in my car last night, I\'ve never witnessed any shooting star that bright or long-lasting. Actually I thought I might have been crazy but I googled it and saw that several people saw a \"fireball\" at 6:05 p.m., the time my car radio registered when I saw it. |
