| Name | Shawn F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This is the 3rd time in my life that I have seen a fireball around the area where I live, and I know that they move much slower than a shooting star, the others moved across the sky but this one seem to enter directly downward from space. Every time I've seen one they alway's have ended up fragmenting |
