| Name | Jo |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | There is a small airport directly across the freeway from where I saw this fireball, I had my sunroom open on my vehicle travelling to work and at first thought a plane was on fire about to land at the airport, but it was travelling much too fast and in the wrong direction to be going to the airport,, then I thought of the photos of when the shuttle crashed in 2002 around East Texas and it looked almost like that debris. |
