| Name | Crystal W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was very spectacular to witness, the most spectacular part is that I actually witnessed two, the second appearing in almost the same location of the sky but not as large, bright or long lasting as the first. The second fireball appeared at 12:15 am July 25 2022, approximately two hours later.I am certain of both times due to the fact that my Grandson was born at 12:08 am & I received notification from my Son in law at 12:15 via Facebook messenger almost immediately after witnessing the second, smaller fireball. The first fireball I witnessed while talking on the phone to my friend so we both observed the time. I am exact on times. |
