| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was lightly cloudy so I don't actually know if there was any trail behind it. Nevertheless, it was a spectacular sight. I only discovered the term " fireball" while researching this shortly after the sighting. I have never seen anything like it before and was wondering what it could be. Upon reading the description, I feel very confident it is what I observed. I would love to have it confirmed and find out just how close to earth it was because it looked very close. |
