| Name | Jo L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen one other ‘fireball’ as bright as this in the Fall of 2000 in Duluth, MN which was strikingly similar to this one, although that fireball’s direction of travel was totally different. For this one, I noted the time, and have been casually looking for info about it, came across this website and then reported it here. |
