Observer
Name Stacy Anastasia T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I never saw anything like this , I knew it wasn't a shooting star .. Did not know if it was a falling star and because of the speed and color did not know if it was a fireball .. After googling videos of fireballs that is exactly what I saw .. I also checked to see if anyone had reported in my area and no one did .. So I am not sure what I saw .. But it was something Amazing !!!!
