| Name | Carl J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving in my car at the time, saw the fireball through my sunroof. It was as bright as, or a tad brighter than Venus at its brightest. It was a brilliant green, and lasted about a second before it disappeared behind trees. No sound, no trail. The sky was dark, but this was a main road, brightly lit, in a city, so for it to have caught my attention while driving, it was quite a duesey! |
