| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | my wife and I didn't know if really saw a fireball or not, it happened so fast as we passed underneath the overpass while traveling on the interstate, we looked at each other and said did you just see that? 2 seconds may be too long of an estimate on duration, but it was impressive. |
