| Remarks | It was super cool! I’ve never seen anything so big and close going by. Much faster than seeing shuttles or Space X or other little meteors zipping by far away. |

| Remarks | Short fat ball with lots of orange yellow flame. Not like a rocket launch (I’ve seen many rockets from Kennedy). Suddenly appeared like a plane in clouds and then was fast and much bigger ball moving east to west. I was in my car, stopped at light, with music playing so didn’t hear anything. |
