Reports Report 374cj (Event 374-2023)

Observer
Name Cheryl E
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was the scariest thing I've ever witnessed. I took my husband to work at the Ft. Smith airport. I just got into Roland about 3:38 approximately and all off of a sudden I saw the sky start getting brighter and then I saw coming down from the right side of highway 64 looking North was this fireball. I just started gripping my steering wheel because I was honestly waiting for impact. I called my husband immediately and told him. I got home and was so shook up. I posted on Facebook what I just experienced and then later that day people started tagging me asking me if this is what I saw. It was definitely a once in a lifetime see. Just wish my husband would have been with me to see it too.
