| Name | Diane G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure what you mean by fragmentation, but this fireball had flames going out behind it while it was still in view, orange colored flames the same color as the fireball. I only saw it for a few seconds because of trees in my neighborhood obstructing the view. We have an electric light rail train system going past our neighborhood in the same direction I saw this. At first I thought there was something flaming on the electrical lines, but when I walked closer in that direction I knew the fireball had been higher in the sky than those lines. An awesome experience! |
