Observer
Name Mary N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Fireball was very low in the sky going from east to west sky when I saw it through the my south house window. It had a blue center and yellow tail. When I saw it, it was so low in the sky that I was waiting to hear an explosion after I lost sight of it. I did not hear anything though but it was crashing to earth low in the sky when I saw it.
