Name Kathleen S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was without a doubt the brightest fireball I have ever seen in my life. My husband and I witnessed this together from our family room window while watching a movie. We exclaimed to one another as we saw it streak across our sky and disappear at the horizon. Amazing!
