| Name | michele s |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was the first fireball that I have seen that did not streak across the sky in some manner. The fireball entered the atmosphere as an orb, got extremely bright, then winked out. It was very green and cast a green light on everything. It did not move across the sky for me, and appeared to have no tail as seen with my naked eye. |
