| Name | Timothy G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Fireball flew from west to east, passed directly over my house. At first I almost mistook it for a firework. Blue and green definite colors, with a bit of a white hot glow about it. Several pieces fragmented about a half dozen sizable chunks and over a dozen small shards. Traveled almost half the width of the visible sky before disappearing. Sun had set but it was still quite light outside. Very little cloud cover that I can recall. |
