Observer
Name Lee F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The fireball appeared whitish orange with a long white tail. It slowly burned up and was gone. Don't know if it was a firework, but it didn't behave like one (it was going horizontal, not up, and it was completely silent). The only video I have is a security video of myself pointing at it when I saw it with my daughter. Lasted nearly 10 seconds according to the video.
