Observer
Name Rick H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This "fireball" was huge and it didnt seem very high at all . It was not not traveling in a curved path this thing was flying straight and fast.i think it i could see a reflection of the color on top of our house . But to be honest i was completely stunned and mesmerized. All i could do was look at it zoom across the and could not move .
