| Name | Steph V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was questioning what I saw this morning and I typed exactly what I saw into google “a ball of fire moving downward in the sky and suddenly vanishing” I then looked on Facebook and searched meteor fireballs in Butler, Pennsylvania and saw many posts about a meteor this morning around the same exact time, seen in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. That’s when I was certain that was what I saw. It was very cool! |
