Reports Report 1149b (Event 1149-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Antha A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I saw the fireball, we were driving down the freeway, so my data is from a moving location. I initially thought it was a helicopter with its lights on, but it was moving much too fast and then disappeared midair. I got the sense it was moving away from us. The location is near Hobby Airport, but planes generally move much slower. |
