| Name | Devon W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving, the fireball quickly shot over my car coming from beside me to the rear right and crossing over just ahead of me and disappeared behind the tree line to my left within a second or two. Faster and brighter than any plane or drone I’ve seen, looked just like a meteor shower streak but MUCH CLOSER. Swear it couldn’t have been more than 500’ above the trees by how clear it looked. |
