Observer
Name Rayna G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I’ve only seen two other fireballs in my life, and this was SO much brighter than the others! We were on the lake looking for shooting stars and had seen a few — then this happened and it was so startling... blindingly bright, absolutely stunning. It was directly in front of us. We probably woke the neighbors with our hollering!
