| Name | Terri M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving at the time, so it was hard to pinpoint the exact location, but I made note of the roads I was between and it was headed to a wooded area to my east. It was traveling low and disappeared into the tree line. The initial sighting was very bright, and the you could see the flames of the fireball. As it traveled east, it faded in color and turned a bluish color before disappearing. |
