| Remarks | Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I did report this sighting to Dr William Codura, Geology Professor at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls.

| Remarks | It was very dark. The trail was extremely bright behind the fireball, but didn\'t last long. It faded from the far end. There could have been a smoke trail, but the event was so bright that I couldn\'t see it and didn\'t think to look. There was no sound and it traveled behind a church steeple where we saw some bright flashes like lightening. |
