| Remarks | When it came into our field of vision, it was a bright, firery light with a glowing trail behind it. It was already dark, so we could not tell if it was smokey. It only lasted a few seconds, but it also looked like it exploded, and continued to fall another second, then disappeared. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As the fireball came into our field of vision, we had enough time to scream and say, "Look at that!" Then it had what looked like an explosion. It was still a ball of fire for another second or two, then went out. |
