| Name | Jeffry Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was so bright and close looking we both believed it would end up in the next community to our west. I'm wondering if it was the one that was spotted in the other midwest states and we saw it when it was first entering the earth's atmosphere. Never saw anything move across our entire field of vision of the sky. We were standing on our deck in the back of the house at the rail so I believe we were facing SW. Also we did not look at our clock, but the sun had gone down and we estimate shortly after 9PM. Very exciting to see and think about, please call if you want or email. |
