Reports Report 143g (Event 143-2015)

Observer
Name David S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving so the initial sighting would likely have been at a higher angle. I noticed a wobbling before it went dark. It seemed to be close (within 100 miles) though I am aware that this can be quite deceiving. I have witnessed other fireballs and did not have an impression of them being close. This is why I recorded this impression.
