| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am 56 yoa and a pilot. I've never saw one. I was outside on my back porch talking to my Son, looking East in a clear night sky and there was an orange fireball trail in the Eastern sky over my shed. Devin, my Son saw it and tried to take a picture but it vanished after about 5 seconds. It was very bright. When I came back inside, I heard the sonic Boom. |
