Observer
Name Sara B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My family was at the Kentucky State Fair on Thursday evening. My daughter was riding the polar Express ride and as I was watching her, there was this bright fireball like object that streamed across the sky right above this ride. It took me a second to realize what it was due to us being at the fair and thinking it may have been from one of the lights from the rides but as I got to looking there were no rides behind or above this ride she was on so that's when I realized it was a meteor. It was larger than ones I have seen before but it was absolutely beautiful. And yes I made a wish 😁
