| Name | Danny G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The event lasted 1-2 seconds. I saw it out of my left driver's door window. It was going down at an angle towards the ground. It was a white line at first, then it turned into something best described as a fireball, white then as the fireball exploded or fragmented it very quickly had colors of yellows, reds, oranges. At the end it had a bluish color like the blue one would see on an oxy-acetylene torch. |
