Reports Report 1970c (Event 1970-2014)

Observer
Name Hill S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I saw the fireball for only a short span as it appeared between trees that surround our property. I wear glasses and saw the fireball in a well-lit house interior and without my glasses on, and that is primarily what caught my attention, otherwise I'd have dismissed it as a skyrocket, but given our location and the ease with which I saw the fireball and the flame tail I don't believe it was a firework.
