Observer
Name Taylor V
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was over a month ago but it has stuck with me. I then read an article with a video about fireballs and realized that’s what I saw. It was very colorful but I dont remember all the colors. I was in a large group at a party and no one else saw it that I know of. I was standing about 20 ft from a large party tent and saw it just above the tent at sunset. The sun had gone down but it was still light out.
