Observer
Name Todd G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I saw an enormous, and widely reported fireball a few years back in Phoenix which actually made a sound and caused me (ridiculously) to duck. Obviously it catches you unaware. I felt like I was in exactly the right place for that one. And this was similar but much smaller. StilI I feel fortunate to have witnessed them.
