| Name | Joey Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball we saw was somewhere between 11pm and 11:30 pm on the date given, the exact time is most likely closer to 11:30 pm but I did not write it down so I cannot be sure. It was very large, a good estimate is 3/4 the size of a full moon. It was bright in the sky but did not light the ground. It came bright yellow and orange then to fizzle out to yellow and black. I do not recall it traveling from \"left to right\" or \"right to left\" but I do recall it seemly going downward a few degrees. It was in the sky for approximately 4 seconds. We were standing and walking(not laying down) when I noticed it. It was just above the skyline created by the trees and town houses to my south. |
