| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I know my report sounds unusual, I have seen 2 other large fire balls in my life but this one is one I can’t get out of my head and I’m desperately trying to find video of it. I’ve never seen anything like it before and it shook me to my core. The way the large pieces broke apart and we’re moving around independently from one another didn’t seem physically possible. When it first entered and appeared and then blew up I thought for sure this could be a majorly destructive impact. I didn’t have memory in my phone to film it and that eats away at me. Please take this report seriously, I’m aware it doesn’t fit the description of a standard fireball and I’m just a guy on the Internet, but I know what I saw. The 2 tiny dots of green light were beyond strange and I have no other words to describe other than possible ufo. They were maneuvering in ways not possible by any aircraft. |

| Remarks | 6-7 large pieces blew up, then they started changing all kinds of directions. 1 piece streaked all the way across the horizon over 3 minutes in duration. It was not a con trail, it was definitely a fireball. There were 2 small dots of green light seemingly circling around all of the broken fireball pieces. |
