| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It's possible I mistook a firework for a fireball, but it seemed more like a fireball that I have seen on videos taken by other people. Unfortunately I do not have a dashcam, and it was over too soon for me to snap a picture while I was driving. |
