Observer
Name Karen P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I viewed the fireball from my bedroom on the 2nd floor. I was in bed watching tv which is facing south & the fireball entered my field of vision going west to south at about a 45 degree angle above the tree line of the Kingslea school playing field. It lasted about 2.5 seconds & left my field of vision because of the trees.
