| Name | Dave T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball appeared to be very large, estimated to be 1/3 to 1/2 relative to the size of a full moon. It was moving to the NNW, and appeared to be descending at a 45 degree angle. I saw it for approx 2 - 2.5 seconds. I have never seen a fireball this large or one that changed colors. It appeared to burn out just above a tree line. |
