This report has been linked to the following event: Event 2081-2017
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Trevor R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The location may not be 100% accurate, as I had to pull it from the log on my GPS. I was driving at the time, and only had one entry for 00:56 EST. The coordinates I gave were for 00:56:53 EST, so they are accurate to within 30 seconds or so of where I was when I saw the fireball. Given I was driving on I-71 between 80 and 90 mph, that 30 seconds may be significant. |
