| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Taylor A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen one other fireball in my life, about 15 or so years ago. I live near the airport but this was travelling perpendicular to primary flightpaths into and out of the airport, so I am confident it was not an airplane. |
