| Name | Lisa B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I felt that this fireball was moving quite slow, and because I was driving my car without the sunroof, it only appeared in my windshield ahead of me. Quite amazing, really. There was a bluish tail on it initially but then just a large white light. Certainly brighter and larger than a planet in the sky. I was approximately a mile to a mile and a half away from where it seemed to go poof (technical term, I know). I tried to keep track of the location and noted that milemarker 18 was the next one that I passed. |
