| Name | William W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many fireballs, this is the 2nd best so far in my lifetime, I kept counting the time and waited for it to dissipate out. Very confident this made it to the ground. I lost sight of it behind the Mcdowell Mountain range. I hope someone else saw it from the other side of the range. |
