Reports Report 7424as (Event 7424-2023)

Observer
Name Marc W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I am retired military (trained to detail and note what I observe) and realize that the fireball was probably very high in the atmosphere. We had just passed under the Wiley Lewis Rd. Bridge that crosses 421 about 11 seconds prior to seeing the fireball. I was traveling in the Northbound set of lanes at approximately 70 MPH. I have removed the audio as it only indicates surprise from my wife seeing the fireball and had some language. I can provide the full video. This was caught at 1080p resolution from my dashcam.
