Observer
Name Teresa K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It actually frightened me as it appeared to look like a military missal launch but it was very fast. Appeared & lasted just a moment. When I realized it was a fireball it was amazing. I’ve seen a few night time meteors but never anything during the day. It was huge bright & fast!
