Observer
Name Tara G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving down the street approaching 26 Prospect St, Northampton, MA 01060 at just after 950 pm EST. I saw a literal fireball travel across my path above me in the sky. I thought it was heading at angle to land on the building at that address and screamed in fright, it felt that close. It seemed to suddenly burn out right as it passed over my path.
