| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were sitting in the hot tub on our deck of a cabin in the mountains outside of Pigeon Forge, TN, when this huge fire ball with a streaming tail went by in front of us. We watched it for at least 5 seconds before it disappeared behind the ridge line to the southeast. I am 65 years old and it was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. |
