| Remarks | After the fire ball was a bright, white trail with sparks of orange and yellow. There were periods of long blue flares. We have a large hill in front of us. The amazing part was how huge it was and how "slowly" it traveled. It was such a visual show; sparks and changes of color. Super close yet silent. It seemed like we would have been able to hear it hit behind the hill in front of us. My boyfriend and I sit outside at night often. I had only seen one other fireball once in Ramstein, Germany about 4 years ago but it was much faster and less dramatic. |
