| Name | Holly C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The phenomena we witnessed at first looking like a shooting star, with a trail behind it, but we were confused because it seemed so close, almost as though it was in our atmosphere. It had a trail at first, then seemed to just be a ball, before disappearing. It was almost horizontal along the horizon. We were completely baffled by what we saw, until I read a story on fireball sightings this morning and realized that must be what it was! |
