| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lexa H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and saw the yellowish-orange fireball in the sky. It seemed closer than a 'shooting star' (more defined), without a long tail as meteors are illustrated to have, and it didn't fall far (almost horizontal from the first viewing point). |
