| Name | Donatella T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I did not know about this site til today, so I am reporting this from memory. My details may not be precise. However I did notice that two other reporters must have seen the same fireball. I was on the crest of a hill in a pasture looking toward WV and Ohio. This was my first fireball sighting in Virginia! Saw one in Michigan 20+ yrs ago. My husband has seen four others in our area in the last 7 yrs, |
