| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was an electric white object with (what seemed like) a bright blue glow, diving down into the horizon line. I saw the fireball/object at approximately 9 P.M. PST. What was most striking was its size. It was so big that it appeared to more local than I'm sure it was. I paused after seeing the fireball, assuming I would soon her a sound indicating its crash - but no sound was generated. Additionally, the fireball was purely circular in shape and compact (it didn't have an elongated tail like the fireball seen over Texas today, 12/07/12). It was substantially larger than (and exponentially brighter) than all other objects in the night sky (i.e., airplanes, faint stars). So far, I have been unable to find any indication of additional reports of the fireball. |
