Name Lisa M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I've saw a fire ball years ago. I didn't report it but it was on the news. It looked very much the same but didn't last as long. The time is approximate. It may have been a shooting star but it was so bright and magnificent. I found this sight a few minutes later and saw that I could report it. I did the best I could relaxing the information.
