Reports Report 1570g (Event 1570-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeannine H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south on Hwy 70 into the East TN mountains when I was going around a curve, saw a hug fireball come from the left and down to the right, it appeared the size of the full moon high in the sky. It was just above the mountains and disappeared shortly thereafter with a greenish white trail, but it may be because I was driving that it disappeared so quickly, I saw it for about 3 to 5 seconds. I think at the time I was facing the WSW in my car. |
