Observer
Name Jess T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was in car when I saw this bright orange red burning ball drop in sky and it was so quick I asked my fiance what was that but he was driving and never seen it. Crazy thing is I've just seen another very similar fire ball just past same area and few hours later but this one was higher in sky but still very quick. I will file a second report after done with this one.
