Observer
Name Beth D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I saw a large double lfireball on Thanksgiving over Wellfleet, MA @ 6:09 pm and told a friend who told me about your website. I saw others in MA who reported one around that time and thought it was cool so decided to report the one tonite. I must have caught the tail end of it...it was big and bright white close to Earth. I saw others reported seeing one in PA & NJ so decided to report from Cape Cod. Thanks.
