| Name | Patricia L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw the fireball from my car as I was driving South on I-59 in Georgia, before getting to Alabama. It was at the top edge of my windshield, and appeared from the top of the car into my field of vision before it either disappeared or I wasn't able to see it any more. It looked bigger than fireworks, and the tail reminded me of some of the trailing fireworks in the professional shows. |
