| Name | Dan B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I also saw a fireball a few months ago in the same general area that fell from the sky and left a trail a lot closer to the earth than anything I ever saw before. That one was red and yellow though, I've never seen something with green color like that. Also, I have friends who have mentioned seeing similar fireballs during a snow storm this past januray in the same area. |
