| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ashley S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Observed this fireball from Brooklyn, NY, facing toward Staten Island, NY. It looked as if the fireball may have landed in New Jersey but I have no experience estimating the distance of a fireball. It was most defiantly heading in a downward direction. What a beautiful experience to see for the first time. |
