Note that I was not a great direct witness to this event. I was at the beach intent on capturing star trial photos and saw a bright flash in the sky, it wasn’t until I checked the camera that I realized what it was.

I only saw the flash indirectly. I didn’t know I had captured a fireball until I saw the image.
