| Name | Susan L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was very close to the ground. I saw it as I was driving beginning on the N side of 28 as I was driving west, and it quickly went behind the trees on the south side. I lost sight of it after that. I am curious where it may have landed, as it was that close to the ground. |
