| Name | Sabrina S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was definitely more than a "shooting star" going through the sky, it was large with many different colors. The colors were so bright! So bright that they showed through the clouds. I was trying to look for the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction last night but there was an overcast, so we were out by the fire and I just happen to look up at the right time and saw this possible fireball. Very special. |
