| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving around 11pm Monday June 17, 2024 and saw a bright fireball slowly moving cross the sky as I drove N on La Canñada in Green Valley, AZ. It was larger and slower than a shooting star so I wondered if it was a satellite, but it was too bright and had an orange tail trailing. I pulled over and watched. After about 10 seconds it started fading and petered out, disappearing in a slow flicker. |
