Reports Report 2768bc (Event 2768-2025)

Observer
Name Don B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Driving West I saw what looked like a 'plane front gear landing light' coming toward me. Grew in intensity WAY faster than a landing light! Blue / Silver light became a streak in a second, began getting darker blue, light then dark green then at / about the horizon became a fireball and exploded with fragmentation. Had no dash cam, or I would have had an incredible video. NEXT one I will :)
