Reports Report 3291e (Event 3291-2016)

Observer
Name Donna K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball was very bright and large in size. I was able to view it for maybe up to a minute. The time noted is approximate as I did not think to look at the clock. It came from the north and was headed south and did not seem to lose much alatitude as it passed overhead. I first saw it from the deck in front of the house. I viewed it for a while until I realized it was a fireball. I then entered the house, called for my husband to come to the rear of the house where we were able to view it until it fizzled out. It was an awesome sight!!!! I called my sister to tell her what I just saw, and while talking to her she also saw a fireball. This would have been about 9:30 pm. I will tell her about this site and hopefully she will report her sighting. Thank you for compiling this info from around the world, great job!!!!!!
