| Name | Diane D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We (3 of us) were driving when we saw it. We thought it vanished behind a tree line and then reappeared, but looking at the spot later it does not seem that the trees would have blocked it. After thinking about it and googling what we saw we thought it must have been a drone with fireworks attached because the "tail" looked like a stream of sparks and not like a "solid" tail or a tail with sparks with tails. But, after posting about it on FB, I found others that had seen it and one was about an hour away. Then someone posted about the sightings that same night and time on this site so I thought maybe it was a fireball even though I did not think it was. |
