| Name | jodie b |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I did not see the fireball,only the effects of its bright light ( huge orange light reflecting off the houses across the street),their motion detectors all went off as well. I think the fireball but have been straight above our street,it was close seeing that much light. At first I thought some kid lit a firework in their hand and shot it parallel to the ground, but when I looked out my window, no one was out there. It was 9:15 pm, I looked at the clock. Nothing was on our local news, not that that surprises me these days because they don't seem to talk about actaul news. |
