| Name | Brian D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were offshore fishing approximately 120 miles from Freeport, TX and a fireball came flying across the horizon. I honestly am not 100% sure what direction I was looking but all other details are true. It appeared to be just a few miles above us.. and lower than a plane would fly. it definitely was not anything like your typical falling star. |
