| Name | Francis D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on an overpass when I saw it, I was moving at maype 30 mph when I saw it. It appeared to have happened in the direction of a construction site past the West Falls Church Metro Station. It appeared to happen maybe 10 degrees over a crane at the construction site. It started as one bright ball then broke into three of the same color. There was not a trail after the fireball disappeared, not sure if there was a trail while the fireball was visible. Sorry I don't have better details to provide. I would describe it as a little darker than the color of the middle of a flame of a Bic Lighter, not the blue base of the flame right near the ignition but above that. |
