Name | Ronald G |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | I happen to turn at the right time in the direction where I saw the fireball, catching it as it streaked across the sky for just a few brief seconds, before it dissipated just above the horizon. I'm 53 years old and I've only seen three or four fireballs in my lifetime. This was the shortest, but still spectacular! |
