Observer
Name Mark B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving a car heading west. The fireball was very low and very small and went across the road ahead of me at perhaps 30-50 feet high.It was coming from the east at a slight angle and heading downwards very fast. Its glow intensified (bigger) very briefly and then completely disappeared at that moment. Less than 2 seconds in duration. Perhaps less than 1 second. There were no vehicles in front or behind me.
