| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Margaret H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I first noticed the intensely bright light on the ground (lawn); it appeared as several bright circles of light flashing on, then off. This could have been the light filtering through the foliage of a large magnolia tree, but it seemed strange they were circles. I then ran beyond the tree to get a clear view of the fireball. |
