| Name | Marilyn W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm a PhD in Geology. 69 years old. This fireball was the most spectacular for length of time and color that I've seen, since I saw one over Lake Erie in the afternoon probably 50 years ago. It was stunning, and stood out against the dark Wyoming sky. During the day I had friends from Bozeman and Helena MT asking if other people besides them had seen it. Great experience. I've tried as best I can giving you the data. |
