| Name | Randall C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | No. Just wondering if I really saw what I saw. Looked like a green laser pointer color (like a green flare), moved from the right downward to the left behind a low building (so I guessed on the end point). Only 3rd fireball I remember seeing in my life so far (and I’m 48 this year). First one was overhead at the last night campfire at Word of Life Bible camp in Schroon Lake, NY as a teenager. It was VERY quiet, so I heard a slight sizzle sound, and that one was a reddish purple. It passed directly overhead from slightly northeast heading slightly southwest. |
