| Name | Alex M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I think my location was very close to this fireball. So to speak. I was driving northbound on interstate 91 and I saw the sky flashing for about 5 seconds. I thought it was lightning, but awkward that it was lasting that long. Then the fireball came into my view from the center of the top of my windshiel, and traveled in a line straight ahead of me. Almost straight north i would say. |
