Observer
Name Verna T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Both my husband and I saw what we believe was a fireball. It was such a very large and bright orange Colored light when we first saw it. We were not sure what we were looking at while we were driving. We pulled over to quickly park and got out of the car. We were waiting for it to fly over our heads. But it didn’t. The bright light then lightened up in intensity. There was a tail behind it as it was flying across the sky. The ball of light got bright again and then disappeared.
