| Name | Darrell F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was extremely bright despite the city's streetlamp light pollution. I initially saw the fireball while driving slowly and stopped the car completely before it disappeared from view. The fireball was three different colors: white in front, green in the middle, and left a trail of white and red sparks. During my life, I've been fortunate enough to witness fireballs on 3 previous occasions. The fireball that I saw tonight was brighter and more colorful than the others. |
