| Name | Julie H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I saw the fireball, I was driving from the top of a small hill downward - in a hilly area - so that may skew the angles and degrees off the horizon that I am reporting. I caught the fireball mid-flight - that is, I didn't see it begin - I happened to look up when it was already happening. There appeared to be lots of sparks behind it - I'm not sure what that would be called, but there were distinct spark-looking items behind the fireball. It was very bright, but not terribly large. |
