| Name | Tyler H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball increased speed as time went on. It was probably heading toward me. I was able to view the entire event, I watched it as I sat at a traffic light. Thought it was a plane at first, but it was to bright and didn’t blink. It was unmistakably green with a blue glow surrounding it. It dimmed for a half second before fragmenting. My original report was incorrect, I was facing west during the event. |
