| Name | Erik H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I enjoy night walks nearly every night and have for years, i have seen fireballs, but they have never hung in the sky like this did. Its slower than average movement makes me question what I actually saw. I’m not sure if I indicated the direction properly either. It appeared high in the night sky at 12:02 in the morning around the constellation Hercules and faded away slightly east of the tail of Scorpius. |
