| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | A stadium full of people witnessed this phenomenon and I don't know that it was a fireball. I thought of the term meteorite when I saw it, but there seemed to be sparks following behind it and the tail had many colors. It disappeared into a cloud and I didn't see it when it came out of the cloud, it was behind a tree by then. |
