Observer
Name Ben F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Very bright considering the heavy light pollution here in the Phoenix area. Would have been a great sight from the airliners in the valley sky at the time, at first, it looked like the fireball would collide with a climbing airliner moving southwest to northeast.
