Observer
Name Ciara B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I had just got home my kids and boyfriend were getting out of my mother's car and I was going to open my door to get out of the car when all of a sudden I saw the fireball over the church south of my house it happened so fast I was a little shocked. I instantly asked my mother and everyone else if they saw it and my boyfriend said he barely caught it out of the corner of his eye. It was so close to us. It looked like it landed right outside of town
