| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Linda T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball came straight out of the east headed west, coming low and slow, silently. It passed nearly directly over my head, with a smoke trail as far as I could see, and as I turned to the west as it passed it exploded/disintegrated without any sound or debris, leaving only the smoke trail, and leaving me in total shock and awe. |
