Observer
Name Sidney H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was traveling way to fast to be any aircraft. It wasn't a shooting star because those are very fast and mostly white this was like a fire! The best way I can explain it was like a firework that caught my eye then it had this explosion like thing around it then *poof* it was gone ! I was so astonished when I seen it I kept screaming "oh my god" but couldn't get it out my mouth to tell my dad to look fast enough it lasted about 3 sec ! I would love to see it again! It's a coincidence I seen this fireball an knew nothing about other people seeing it a day before ! Hopefully my dad believes me when I show him!! I've taken earth science 1&2 I know what they look like I wouldn't just come up with a lie like that, my father an I was just leaving the Norfolk tides game hopefully someone else seen it
