| Name | Will K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The angles are a guess, I live on a steep mountain side which makes it a challenge to guess. This is my second fireball in my life. The first one was around 6 am just a couple of days before the big one hit in Russia. I saw this over the sky's of Sacramento CA. This one was incredibly brilliant, and had lots of sparks and appeared to be moving slowly. |
