Observer
Name Vicky H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving north on I-49 getting ready to exit on I-435 West loop and saw this huge streak of light with, what looked like a whitish yellow fireball on the end. It came in at an angle from the high west side and disintegrated at about a 20 degree? angle or so. The COOLEST thing I've EVER seen!
