Reports Report 3097b (Event 3097-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kevin W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I leave my house for work at 430am M-F. As I was driving north on I-95, I saw this very quick event. From where I indicated on your map, it looked like the fireball hit approx. 5-10 mile N/NW of my location while I was driving on I-95. If you can imagine a clock, the fireball came in on a 1 and ended where the 6 or 7 might be. It was a really bright white flash with a trailing fireball and then it was over. |
