| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Natalie W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I know this is extraordinarily rare, but I saw 2 fireballs within the span of 15 minutes. One at this location as I was driving home, and one when I got out of my car at home. I will report the second one as well. I'm not sure if they were meteors or debris, as I'm not experienced in differentiating the two. |
