|---|---|
| Name | Cori M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball came into my field of vision very low, just above the treeline. A tree obstructed my final view. It was very bright, long tail and changed to a bright blue. It seemed so close so I'm concerned it may only be fireworks ? Never seen anything like this before . |
