| Name | Amanda B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving down the road when I saw it out of my front window. At first I thought Venus was already out during the day, then I thought, "No" maybe a firework. Then I immeidatly thought "NO! That's not a firework. It's way too high and it wouldn't be this bright!" - I then realized I was seeing my first day time fireball. (I really wish I had a driver's camera to show the video). |
