| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | cory b |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I'm 39 years old and this was the coolest thing I've ever seen. The loud noise. I could hear it over the diesel engines at the water treatment plant. I might have thought it was a exotic firework popping in the distance if I had not seen the fireball. I knew this was an event I should report. |
