| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I could actually see detail in the trail of the fireball. It actually looked like flames. It was not just a blob of light. If this is helpful in identifying what i saw, could you let me know? Thanks! Also, i forgot to check the exact time when i saw it. I would say my guess is accurate to + or - 10 minutes. |
