| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | A Facebook friend in Battle Creek WA, shared seeing the fireball. I am in Mukilteo, WA about 300 miles north. The fireball seemed so close to me. Had to be a pretty big occurrence for it to have been observed from that distance, and yet so big, bright and all that. |

| Remarks | Bright white trail stretched from where the fireball first appeared in the east and continued a bit after the fireball was lost from sight behind some trees to the west. While on my walk this morning, I looked up at the crescent moon, just as an extremely bright white light appeared, from just below the moon. I froze in my tracks as it appeared to come right toward me then passed by in front of me from east to west, trailing a long white streak. Got my adrenalin going to be sure. |
