| Name | Joel F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Around 9:30 PM 11/3/2023, was driving eastbound on 101 in Peterborough NH midway between the town center and Miller State Park. Direction could have been SE or E. Very prominent, not just a white streak, with yellow/orange head and long green tail. Left to right path straight across sky in front of me, unsure if burned out or vanished behind tree line to the right. Estimate it to have been at 30 degrees as it was at top of my windshield. Internet search of images leads me to believe this to be a bolide/fireball sighting. |
