Observer
Name Jess S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks When I was letting my puppy out this morning I happened to look out and see a bright ball with a train. At first I thought it was a comet and then after talking about it today with others I did a search and found this page in thinking it actually was a fireball. I checked my blink camera for the time stamp of 3:21am EST.
