| Name | Alex C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Really bright, vivid green fireball. Large size. Biggest I've ever seen lasted about 3.5 seconds. Ended abruptly. Came across my line of site from eastern direction at about a 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock angle with a south west trajectory. I was on hwy 35 south. There was two of us in the vehicle. I noticed it in the sky, told my passenger about it he also witnessed the fireball but in the 3 seconds it occurred we weren't able to take photo evidence thinking it wouldn't last as long as it did. It was quite the sight to see. |
