Reports Report 326bp (Event 326-2013)

Observer
Name Natalya J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks At first I thought I had imagined it, and was trying to fit it into the context of headlights, as I was driving at the time. Just as I was about to say something, my 11-year-old son said "WHOA! Did you see that? It was too big to be an airplane..." Later that night I asked him what he saw, and it was the same thing I saw, a whitish-green fireball that started just above the overpass on the right side of the road, and fell to just behind the overpass but we didn't see it underneath. I was driving southbound, so it was to the south, and I was fairly close to the overpass but not right up on it, helping me approximate the angle. I was just nearing the exit which led to the overpass we saw the fireball fall behind. It was a little smaller than the sun appears when high in the sky, and moving fast. Please call if you have questions.
