| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My husband had just seen a fireball at this same address three nights ago and did report that sighting. Tonight, we were together, heading to our car after a different event when I saw this fireball and just started repeating, "Shooting star" because I couldn't think of what else to say, I just wanted him to see it before it vanished and hoping that others who were there might see it too but they were behind a tree and behind us so my voice didn't carry in that direction but my husband did get to see it too so he was excited to see his second fireball. |
