| Remarks | On 2020-09-04, at 3:35 AM (UTC-04:00), I was riding my bicycle, going north, in NW Cape Coral, Florida, and I saw a very bright fireball that traveled a long distance. It was bright orange with some green, and it looked like it traveled west to east. I would say that it lasted somewhere between three and four seconds, and it was traveling very fast. I'm used to riding my bicycle in the early morning, but I've never seen anything like this before. This is my first time making a report, because this was the most impressive fireball that I've ever seen in my life. |
