Fireball report

Reports Report 61i (Event 61-2013)

Observer
Name	Jon T
Experience Level	1/5
Remarks	I was heading to the gym at Planet Fitness when I saw this. From where I was driving it seemed to appear over the storage units. It looked like someone shot a green roman candle upside down. I called WRALTV later to report it and they had told me they had numerous reports of the fireball. I also see multiple reports of a green fireball all over the NC area on this site, so thats probably the same one i saw. Cool!
