| Name | Andrew B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was brighter than, and about the same size of a street lamp from 4 houses away. Lasted nearly 3 seconds. Thought it was an airplane at first, realized it wasn't, then it disappeared from sight. I feel that it probably dissipated shortly after leaving my sight. |
