| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bertha A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I believe the blue fireball my son saw 40 minutes before was related with the bolide I experienced and captured on this video. This was very low, maybe 2100 ft maybe 4 miles away. I heard a crack, I wouldn't be surprised if fragments fell from this. My backyard faces East this was more to the south. |
