| Observer | |

| Name | David P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm sure it's on lots of security cameras. It had been raining, it was hot and muggy out, hs football games had ended an hour or so before. I was driving and the road was empty when I saw it. I've seen many, many Meteors. But ive only seen 3 fireballs before. This "popping", changing color and "sparking" was amazing! |
