| Name | Kim D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was outside looking for the moon, it was full and bright when I left the house an hour before, it was gone when I arrived home at 6:25. I was enjoying the stars when there was a flash in the sky. I then saw the fireball and trail in the Southeast sky and thought a plane was on fire, it lasted maybe 5 inches in the sky (I know terrible description) then I kept waiting to see what would happen, nothing. |
