| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was amazing. I’ve been lucky enough to see probably a dozen fireballs in my 44 years, but this was the best. I kept refreshing this page when I got home to see if there were other reports, because it was just so good, and with it being still quite light out, I thought it was fake, or an errant firework. I was with my 9 year old son who saw it as well. I should mention that a 1/2 behind us was a stadium full of people for a high school football game. Where that is situated is on a ridge with an amazing panaromic view of the sky. I bet 1/2 that stadium saw it, if they weren’t looking at their phones. |
