| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nancy W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | There was a bright light prior to seeing the fireball. I thought someone had turned on headlights to a car behind me (to the north), but there is a fence in the neighbors yard so I thought that was really odd. Then I saw the Fireball blazing across the sky. It was really cool, and it seemed really low. I had seen some air travels earlier and they seemed up much further than the fireball. |
