Observer
Name Mack E
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The fireball began mid sky south of my location, appearing to be over the town of muskogee, ok with a dominantly vertical trajectory, moving only slightly westward. It appeared bright with whites and blues turning red before disappearing. It had a long trail behind it, much like a comet. It lasted 3 or 4 seconds. It was the sole fireball witnessed in this event.
