| Name | Steve J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am not good at this. The time is an approximation. I saw the fireball while driving north on Interstate 81, likely near Martinsburg, WV. My son and a family friend who were traveling with me also saw it. It was a pretty awesome experience, but it was quick and I was focused on driving rather than the night sky. However, the blue streak of light did catch my eye. |
