| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving on US Hwy 52 from Garnavillo, Ia towards Guttenberg, Ia at the time of the fireball. It was difficult to tell relative direction of the fireball because the road is very 'windy' at that location. The fireball was definitely bright, had a green tail. Very beautiful. And, I looked at the clock in my car, so I know it was very close to 7:06pm on January 16th CST. |
