| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It only lasted 2 or 3 seconds in my view, I was driving, and a large tree blocked the rest of my view sadly. I honestly can be a magical thinker with time so it may have only been a second or two, but just seemed longer while I was caught up in the awe of it. My observations are just going out in the country where darkness is and watch showers as I am able too which, sadly isn't often enough. All I can say is that I have never seen anything that bright that fast, or with anything that looked like it had some fire to it. It's the closest thing to a fireball I could ever imagine. I hope it's identifiable. Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to share. ~Alicia~ |
