| Name | Lei Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Very excited to see a fireball for the first time in my life. There was only one fireball, and its color was green. I was driving towards east at that time. Sadly my dashboard camera was not working. Otherwise it would be one of my most precious images. My sight was blocked by the roof of my SUV. Otherwise, I could have a longer and complete view of the fireball. Let me know if someone else confirm the fireball, especially if he/she has an image. |
