| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bill E |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen fireballs in the past and I like to look for them when I'm outside. At first this one seemed like a low flying plane speed, but it didn't blink, and when it fragmented, I was certain it wasn't a plane. I was driving in the car returning from a church event and my daughter also saw it. |
