| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 2s |
| Length | 10° |
| Remarks | Not real long, fairly wide as the ball & same color I think.The most curious thing was the lightening around it. It flashed twice. There were fast moving thin white clouds zipping by above me, moving north. The fireball (?) was higher up, but bigger/closer than a shooting star & going south-ish. |
