| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | D B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a fireball before in Cabo San Lucas MX several years ago, but it was enormous and not reported as far as I know. This one seemed to be way over the northern Olympic Mountains from my position and heading downward and left, bright, with a trail from start to finish, almost like a comet. |
