| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen some good fireballs. One during the day. This makes 4. I've never seen one burn this bright or for so long, and move so slow. It didn't zip across the sky, it was a good 7 to 10 seconds. I caught about 5 or 6 seconds of it after it was halfway across the sky. |
