| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Myself and two family members were running laps at the track, when we saw this fireball, each of us were at different places on the track, we all saw it, and thought it was a small plane, on fire, and about to crash. It was so large, and appeared so close, my adult daughter started running the other direction, as to stay out of it's path. We waited for the impact. but did not feel or hear it. |
