| Name | Steven F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was so close traveling (NE) over the top of my house, lighting up my entire yard. It was like I had stadium lights on my property; it was so bright. It was huge, making the size larger than my home and less than 3k feet in the air. We have a small non commercial airport in Merlin, OR. and see airplanes flying over our house at approx. 1500 - 3k feet. This fireball seemed a lot lower than the planes fly. |
