| Name | Jessica D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was astonishing! I saw the fireball for about 2 seconds as I was driving south on the Merritt parkway thru Trumbull, CT. It was big, on fire, yellow/orange, looked like it was exploding. It was moving directly downward, and I cannot tell if it hit ground or disappeared. It was very low to the horizon when I saw the fireball. It was incredible! |
