| Name | Meagan M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I don’t really know if what I saw was a fireball. It was like an orange/yellow comet, but it was closer to the ground than any comet I’ve ever seen, and was very bright. It was visible at sunrise. My estimation of how high it was was probably wrong, though, as I was viewing through trees. It disappeared behind a house, and when I ran around the house to see it, it was gone. |
