| Name | Brian H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the largest fireball I’ve ever seen anywhere in my travels, from the comfort of my bed and the speed & light caught my eye, very thrilling to see something so remarkable yet so easy to miss in the blink of an eye! I feel lucky to witness it! I was glad to see it disintegrate as I would not want to be anywhere near it could potentially land and it looked as if it was headed right towards Snohomish valley & quite possibly the town of Snohomish! |
