| Observer | |

| Name | Samantha K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I literally could not believe my eyes, even checked around me to rule out other possibilities and when my eyes returned to it, the fireball had descended closer to the horizon before finally disappearing into behind trees. I saw all of this occur from my car, driving eastbound on Hwy 268. It lasted between 4-6 seconds. Looked literally like a ball of yellow orange fire with an intense green glow. AMAZING once in a lifetime opportunity!! |
