| Remarks | It first appeared as one bright fireball with an illuminated trail directly above it. It then flashed and reappeared as three slightly smaller fireballs, all with illuminated trails as well. The last I saw, there was one dimmer, smaller fireball that appeared to move in a quick, sort of zigzag way, horizontally to the ground. |
