Observer
Name Gene C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My wife and I were having dinner on the beach (on vacation). From my perspective the fireball appeared about dime-size, very bright; my wife didn't see it as she had her back turned towards that direction but another couple dining next to us saw it as well.
