| Name | Tamra D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’m not sure exactly what time I saw it; I estimated it at 10:25 because I know I was out at the barn taking care of my horse from about 10 to 11 pm and it was during the first half of my routine chores, before I brought my horse into the barn for the night. I was cleaning the stall when the bright light startled me and I looked up to see the rest of the fireball’s journey. Also, I’m not great with angles and trajectories, so take my estimates with a grain of salt! It was bright and beautiful and I stared at it in awe but I didn’t know there would be a pop quiz today 😄 |
