Reports Report 6164at (Event 6164-2019)

Observer
Name Patricia D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving so my exact location is approximate as well as the time. I caught the fireball out of the corner of my eye and it was a huge ball of fire until it almost reached the tree line and then the fire went out. I’m not great at judging distance but it seems like it may have landed in the middle of Thornton road or very close by near the road edge. That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life! I kept my eyes open the rest of the way home in hopes to see a smoking rock in the road lol
