| Name | Kristen R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were out in our driveway at approximately 9:30 pm, trying to put the cover on our boat. I was facing towards the west; my husband towards the east; as he did not witness the fireball. It was extremely bright, directly west ( no far how telling) and did an arc towards the northern ground. Then was lost in the treeline. Beautiful sight and probably the best one I have ever seen! |
