| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was low in the sky. It appeared to be just above the treeline. It also appeared to have a trail of sparks at the end of it. A bright blue ball (like a basketball) at the front, then narrowing to a blueish orange point with sparks. This is our first time seeing anything like this in the sky. My husband and i just got married on july 15th. We hope this once in a lifetime sight is a stroke of luck for us. It was an awesome, quick sight that inspired us to learn more about astronomy :) |
