| Name | Craig W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my truck driving south, I saw the fireball to my right moving south at a high speed, low in the sky. My daughter was with me and observed it with me. For a moment I thought it was plane on fire, it lasted about 5 -10 seconds sparking out the backside. I reported it to the Menasha Police Dept. on the outside chance it was a plane. It was quite a show. |
