Observer
Name Kimberly C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have never seen anything like this before. Several friends and I went out to dinner and the two of us in the front seat saw this 'fireball'. We found this website and didn't realize how common these were. Very exciting! Thanks for letting amateurs contribute to your data base! Will definitely keep looking up!
