| Name | Emily F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving my car when this phenomenon occured, so I was quite shocked and surprised by what I saw, and it was very close it seemed to near the horizon in my view and became brighter as it came down with a blue tail and like white/yellow/as the head of the fireball. Also it seemed pretty big from my perspective on the road through my windshield window. |
