Observer
Name Maggie C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving and it looked like a fireball and went behind the tree line. Like a big shooting star it was very fast and had a trail but disappeared quickly traveling downward. My friend called just after so that's how I know the approximate time. It was just before exit 20 on loop 10 in Athens Ga.
