Experience Level
1/5
Remarks
Traveling south west in car. Fireball moved from north to south in front of us. It was extremely large and bright as it approached the horizon and it looked like it hit the earth. This was a truly amazing experience never seen before. This is a very rural area and we may be the only observers.
