| Remarks | Just before the fireball, I remarked how it was still somewhat light out - about twilight. So, the ball was really bright to be seen at the time. We were heading North on Route 218 in West Hartford, CT. 3 out of 4 saw the fireball. The fourth was a six year old. It certainly was interesting. Thank you for a forum to share what we saw. |
