| Name | David M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was watching fireworks show in distance (> 5 miles) over Lake George NY. Presumed fireball came from my viewing direction to my left and was traveling south west. Was definitely not part of fireworks display, but looked similar to a morter trail. I could be mistaken, but no other fireworks came from this direction. It was traveling horizontally or slight downward angle. There was no boom. I believe it was a fireball. |
