| Name | Christopher W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I observed this from my bed, through the bedroom window. For about two seconds it illumated the window shutters so brightly that I thought it was a car coming down the road behind us until I realized the light was from the wrong direction. About about two seconds, the fireball appeared in the window, and my wife and I watched for another two seconds as the fireball appeared to travel almost straight down, blazing intensely white, until it went out just above the tree line. |
