Observer
Name Clayton S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was just rounding the bend while leaving the Walmart parking lot. I excitedly yelled, "fireball, FIREBALL!" and pointed, and my wife immediately reacted, and it was gone. I would say the entire length of fireball was approximately 1.75 seconds, and it was due south.
