Observer
Name Watts B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We looked out behind our house and saw a big fireball falling across the sky. I had never seen anything like it before. It didn\'t have any kind of a smoke trail like something on fire falling. it just looked like a big ball of fire fire going across the sky with a little fire tail behind it. I got my 1,000 mm lens and put it on my cannon t1i and shot a few pics before I lost it behind the tree line.
