| Name | Cindy W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north on Highway 317 one to two minutes south of Moody. I'd seen a helicopter flying around Temple, TX previously that night. When I saw the light in the sky going down, my first thought was of an aircraft crashing. Then I realized it was a fireball! So cool! |
