| Name | Mandy P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were traveling east on route 108 between eldred and Carrollton il when the green fireball came into view in the east, we were in a car with loud kids so maybe was a boom and we just didn't hear. It was so bright it seemed to keep its brightness all the way into the horizon, like it hit the ground although I realize that's not what happened. |
