| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Savannah S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be a lot closer, brighter and bigger than usual. Only upon researching meteors did I find it was called a "fireball". It was unlike anything I've ever seen, amazing sighting while driving home! The colors were beautiful while the closeness was a little uncomfortable. |
