| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Pierson N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am not experienced in this, but based on what I saw, and what I have looked up on what a fireball is, I definitely saw a fireball. It looked as though it was coming straight towards me. I had to slow down for fear it would hit me. Someone else said they saw a similar sighting at the same time in San Francisco. |
