| Name | Karen H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was excited to see that others in Ohio reported a fireball at around 11pm as I did. Confirms what I saw and now I can tell my husband (who looked out the window a second too late) I wasn't seeing things. It was quite a site and my first fireball sighting...worried that maybe it was part of a plane on fire in the sky as we live near two small airports, but glad to see it wasn't. |

| Remarks | I wasn't sure if a boom I heard about 5-10 seconds afterward was associated with the fireball and the tv was on, so I wasn't sure if it was on tv or not at the time or someone shooting off fireworks on a Friday night, but after going outside, it was very silent outside and too cold to be doing fireworks. |
