Observer
Name David M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This fireball popped into our field of vision while driving. It was only a sec and was at a step angle, impact angle. It appeared to hit just beyond the tree line, I assume it impacted but we had windows up driving at 65mph so we didn't hear a sound.
