| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my van sitting at the stoplight. At first I thought it was a kite that got away from its owner. Then I noticed that it was burning. I had time to show my two children, and we were looking at it and talking about it. As we were talking about it, the fireball appeared to start breaking apart. It appeared to dissolve in front of our eyes. I have never seen anything like it before and would like to know what it was. |
