| Name | Tim B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The exact time of my sighting is an estimate, +/- 15 minutes. The fireball was fast moving and large, but not the largest one I have observed in the past. Size of fire ball reminded me of what a U.S. Army Artillery Flare looks like when it first ignites on the horizon. |
