Observer
Name Paul H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Seems to be coming straight down vertically. It kinda flashed into my vision, then got brighter and stayed consistently visible. It was thick and bright white with possibly a light bluish color. The moon was out brightly and it was still very bright. It was so bright as it passed behind some clouds it was still visible lighting up the cloud like lightning then became completely visible again. Although it happened fast the "fire ball" was kinda slow.
