| Remarks | I’ve seen some awesome meteors although none of the during the day types or sonic booms, but I saw a satellite falling out of the sky in 96, 97, 98 or 99 over Panhandle of Texas, the ISS, too numerous to count satellites, etc. What I saw was a new visual experience for me. |

| Remarks | Probably not a fireball. However if you can line up 15-20 jets and the glow from their tailing afterburner one behind the other in a straight line then that’s what I saw. Of course wasn’t jets because you can’t fly them that close that fast. Very interesting. Of course no blinking lights. |
