Observer
Name Marcie A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was on a water taxi from Harbour Island (Dunmore) to Eleuthera Bahamas Three Island dock. I was facing North when I saw the most beautiful fireball. It appeared close to me. As soon as I got off the water taxi I found someone else who also saw it- and we took a video talking about our experience and what we saw.
