| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This might sound crazy, but this is the 4th fireball I’ve seen in 2 years! They keep catching my attention while I am trying to fall asleep…l struggle with sleep so it takes me forever sometimes lol. This one was all green, I was facing north and it looked like it was going straight down like it was falling. A piece broke off so there ended up being a big fireball and a smaller one trailing just behind it. Only lasted 2-3 seconds. I was inside so I don’t know if there was any sound. |
