| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was unreal...unbelievable, I've never seen anything like this even in images of previous 'comet's. The fireball was the size of a car headlight at about 50 feet. I know it sounds exaggerated, but its as accurate as I described. Surprisingly it remained almost exactly horizontal for the entire time including the tail. |
