Observer
Name Jennifer B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving eastbound on business 40 in Kernersville North Carolina, all of a sudden I looked to my left and saw what appeared to be a large fireball passing through the sky...It was massive and very bright with an array of colors and a tail. It looked like it disappeared in the trees...absolutely amazing!
