| Name | Maggie H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was facing the opposite direction from the fireball initially. I became aware of a bright light behind me and turned around to see what it was because the color and unsteady quality of the light was unlike a motion sensor yard light l, which I initially thought was the source of the light. I turned around and saw the flaming fireball for only about a second. The tail was mostly orange, and the object itself seemed to glow with a bright white light. |
