| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The tail lingered very faintly for probably 7 seconds at least. The flash was very bright, and teal- it lit up everything around brighter than the street lights or surrounding lights and even looking ahead at my headlights while driving, it still lit up the whole area! |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It’s what caught my attention as I was driving, and so I leaned forward and this is when I saw the fireball and the lingering tail. It was so bright it reminded me of a lightening flash, but maybe half as bright, and lit up the earth and trees around the highway |
