Observer
Name Holly Jill S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was with two other people, and this was the biggest fireball any of us had ever seen. It was so big and bright, we thought it went down on the Palm Springs' side of the San Jacinto Mountain range, and even called 911 to alert them to have the fire department check for a possible fire.
