Observer
Name John G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The appearance of the fireball stopped conversation in the car. It appeared bright white/light yellow until the last split second, when the fireball took on a blue tinge and fizzled. Could have been brighter than I stated, but I was seeing it through a moving car's front window.
