| Name | Evan P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was VERY bright and seemed to be very close. I was driving on the highway so I didn't have the opportunity to tell if there was sound or not. I almost thought it was a missile or some kind of Hollywood weapon at first. Unlike most of the fireball videos i've seen on the Internet. This seemed particularly energetic. |
