| Name | Aaron M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Unfortunately, I was late to the show. Judging from the size of this fireball it was probably traveling a great distance before it entered my field of vision. I noticed it as it came strait down toward the ground over to the west of me. Glowing a bright, white-green, very large like a falling, failed rocket launch. As it passed behind the tree-line there was a bright orange flash that lit the sky. Very impressive display, to say the least!! |
