Observer
Name Sharon Z
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I am 100% sure this is a fireball. The reason is that I am in DOWNTOWN KINGSTON. I was watching the Christmas parade and video chatting with my parents. When I saw it, I checked the time; it was 17:43. I could see what was happening for other people. There are shocked expressions on their faces; the group of guys to my right saw it too.
