| Name | Devin D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was a large ball of fire, it looked as if it had fallen on the other side of the river near Highland park/ Pittsburgh zoo area. In my visual field it looked like a flaming soccer ball over the buildings in front of us. I was with my girlfriend who reportedly saw the fireball first and had enough time to say "Holy shit, what is that?", pointing towards the sky, as I looked up in the middle of her exclaiming. |
