Observer
Name Brandon B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw this fireball as I was driving on the highway and noticed it off in the sky to my left. It was green and was traveling at a downwards angle. I kind of got worried because it looked like it was headed into the city but it was definitely breathtaking. It disappeared into the distance after about 3 seconds of me seeing it sink
