| Name | Brenda C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | By the time I looked up from under my carport roof it was just above the treeline which is elevated above my house. It was a slower "fall" and not as the previous "shooting" fireballs I've reported, but was very bright and larger than past ones I've observed. Wasn't sure if I was witnessing an aircraft falling out of the sky. No orange fire, smoke, or boom. Just wish I'd seen it sooner. It was spectacular to see how large and bright this one was. Very exciting. |
