Observer
Name Lisa D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This fireball started from one end of the western sky, low- followed by a very long smokey trail with tiny red sparkles in it, falling to the south. It looked very close and as it descended over the horizon, I could imigine it hiting the ground in a couple of counties south of me and I almost thought I would hear a boom, but I didn't. It was Tues. night, Spet. 2, 2025, 8:44pm and I was in the swimming pool.
