| Name | Amanda K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I Was driving near a field when this happened and there were no clouds in the sky, and all the stars are pretty visible. So there was no mistaking what I saw. There was only one other car on the road in front of me and they slow down substantially because I think they saw it too, I mean they had to have to of because it was pretty much just darkness and farmland and then the fireball. |
