Name Phoebe B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sitting on my porch facing the street and the brightness of the fireball caught my attention and I looked to my left and saw it go through the sky. Unfortunately from where I was sitting I couldn't see it once it went past the view of the side of my house and when I got up and ran over it was gone
