Reports Report 1984bt (Event 1984-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen 3 fireballs in the past, and have reported the latter two after I found out about this site. The first one that I saw was widely reported by others that I talked to, and it lasted quite a while and traveled a long distance across the sky. The second one that I saw, and reported, was at a steep angle, and was, as I recall, seen in more than one state. The third one that I saw and reported was not confirmed by anyone else. |
