| Name | Alexis M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was facing southeast and looking for meteors, barley walked out of my house, when I saw/heard a bright white fire ball coming from southwest. From the corner of my eye I saw the bright white flash coming from the sky. Immediately Looked up and I knew what I was witnessing because as a child and even a teenager I have seen not exactly the amazing fire ball of tonight, but I have seen 2 more in that exact location it was beautiful slow and bright. Floated in the sky. This fireball was the best one thus far and I hope I can see more in my lifetime. I hope this info does well. I hope if you find video of it you can share it with me. Thank you. Color bright white flash, size big enough to illuminate side wall and street. Lasted about 3 or 4 seconds. |
