Reports Report 2969c (Event 2969-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andy D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Just a few random thoughts, which may be irrelevant (or already assumed). My vantage point was at a higher elevation than the ambient neighborhood street level observers would have been, simply due to my driving on an expressway which was elevated approx. 10'-20' higher than the homes and neighborhoods close by. From my vantage point, the fireball was losing apparent altitude and dropping toward Earth, but the angle of decent seemed gradual. I lost sight of the object prior to seeing it make any apparent impact with Earth. If pressed to guess, I had thought that perhaps this object was going to fall somewhere from the extreme Northeastern Gulf of Mexico to maybe some point north of Tallahassee. Finally, this object was the brightest, largest, and most colorful object I've ever seen "shooting" across the sky. |
