Reports Report 3804l (Event 3804-2018)

Observer
Name John K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This is the third time I’ve seen a fireball. They always just happen to be in the background while I’m talking to someone. And that person never sees it!!! I have to confirm here or the news got video once too. The green one over Wisconsin in summer 2002 I think was my favorite.
