| Remarks | We have exceptionally Dark Skies here and I often see shooting stars. This was far closer, more colorful, and had absolutely more detail than anything I have ever seen before. Also, the angle of the light shooting straight down was shocking. After Google confirmation a fireball meteorite is the closest image I was able to find to what I saw. |

| Remarks | As the glowing white ball fell it was encased in red orange and blue. There was a bright green that was shooting up from the middle of the white ball and the smoke Trail was white and thin, the trail disappeared right behind the ball. There was only a slight delay between the smoke Trail and the ball of light falling. |

| Remarks | It seemed as if the fireball Stood Still in the sky. I only noticed it because it looked like a bright colorful light standing still in the sky. I started it for about half a second before I watched it shoot straight down. It did seem like there was a center and then a wider area of material around it that was not as bright. |
