| Remarks | I saw a fireball with a tail moving horizontally at a steady rate of speed but slow enough for me to look up and notice it, realize it wasn't a plane or helicopter, and run around my home and trees to see it once more. It seemed extremely close and I had to look up online different things to rule out a flare gun. It was amazing whatever it was! |
