| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Suzie S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | There were 4 of us that all saw the same thing at the same time. My husband saw it from the beginning but I saw the light reflecting in the sky and caught only the tail end of the fireball. If the trees weren’t there, I’m certain we would have seen it longer. |
