Reports Report 4940a (Event 4940-2026)

Observer
Name Nicolle T
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The sun had not yet set, there was clouds in the sky, and yet I saw it very brightly. There might have been a smoke trail, but I couldn't tell because of the clouds. It was south, slightly southwest towards Ohio from where my viewing point was on I-75. Very cool to see a daylight fireball. It was very green and lasted about 2 seconds
