| Name | Jesse R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Considering my location and the current news stories, I wasn’t sure what I saw but after seeing photos of other Fireballs, I can certainly say that this incredibly fast, bright, blue colored ‘blip’ in the sky was not a drone. Super cool to witness and am hoping I’m not the only one who caught this!! |
