Name | Michael S |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | Fireball seemed to be very low. There are apartment buildings about 20 yards in front of where I was sitting and fireball just appears from over the buildings, flew overhead as I stood to turn and watch it. It came in as a bright light with white trail behind it. Almost like watching clips of a missile at night. There was no sound, even as it broke apart. |
