Reports Report 181be (Event 181-2013)

Observer
Name Lisa D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This pure white light appeared to be a falling star of some sort. I was driving home Tuesday night on rt 3A in Litchfield, NH and I thought the white light that was as big as a basketball was going to hit the car in front of me. The fireball landed about 200 feet from Rt3A in the field. I was in total shock as I have never seen a pure white light like that in my life and it was way too close to me and the car in front of me. It was beautiful but scarey at the same time. Another 200 feet closer either me or the car in front of me could of got hurt. Crazy! I will never forget this event.
