| Name | Caroline D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The time I gave is approximate. I have no photo record of the event, it happened very fast, probably 2-3 seconds. The fireball looked either very large or very close, was bright orange and had a bright orange-yellow tail that looked like sparks or fire was coming from it. It did not look like a distant falling star. It seemed to fall over the direction of the Atlantic Ocean, I was just across the road from the beach but could not see the water from there. The fireball was bright against the dark sky but did not brighten the sky. |
