Observer
Name Carol N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The directions I gave may not be accurate. I had trouble using the program. I was looking out a window facing ENE and saw the fireball pass from left to right. It was a deep orange/yellow with a large tail (imagine taking a flaming torch and waving it quickly left to right.) Hope this information helps.
