| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sarah P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I completed the form because I wanted to submit the video that we were wondering about. We did not see the fireball directly, we heard the noises and caught some of the associated light and sound on our doorbell camera. I assumed it was a firework, but a number of people have asked if it may have been a meteorite (since nobody we spoke with in the area, seemed to know of a firework that night). |
