Observer
NameJim K
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI was driving south by Culvers Restaurant (address given) when I first saw fireball; made it to driveway of Olive Garden Restaurant by time it disappeared. Went from west to east over the freeway; Not too far over the tree line. For example, it was seemingly about half the height of the trees above the tree line when considering I'm looking from west side of freeway to the east. Also, east side of freeway is a lower elevation (down of hill). Was moving clearly in a downward motion west to east of my field of view, but it did seem quite horizontal-ish, a bit, even though it was obviously moving downward....
