Observer
Name joseph t
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving so I was looking strait ahead east when it happened and not distracted. The fireball came down at a high angle of decent from left to right. If you were to hold your hands out one foot apart the object came down within that narrow of a field. On a projector it would be like 110 degrees.
