| Name | Fran P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving southbound on I-93; the time I reported could be off by a few minutes, but was close to 7 pm. The fireball appeared suddenly above the highway— for a moment I thought it was some kind of flaming debris— then it disappeared suddenly as I drove under the power lines. It was probably about 2 seconds, but seemed longer because my brain was trying to make sense of it. |
