| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I wish I would have made a report yesterday when the sighting was fresh on my brain. It is hard to determine my exact location as I was driving home from imperial to Brentwood. I left my patients home at 11:30am. I was talking to my friend Brooke on the phone. When I saw the fireball in the sky, I immediately said to Brooke- "what in the world was that?!" She asked what I saw. I tried to describe it but just coughed it up to being something.... I tried the best I could to locate where I would be on Tesson ferry 10 mins into my drive from my patients home. That's how I picked my location. I saw it slightly in front of my vision, but to the Left. I was traveling north on 21. |
