Experience Level1/5
RemarksI am not quite sure of the time but my cell phone call that lasted 1.28 hrs/mins started at 20:01 PM. I live near the bottom of a small hill. I was sitting stationary in my lawn chair and looking up at the sky while I was talking to my friend on my cell phone. I was peering in the same direction as the fireball entered my sight, some large trees block me from seeing the actual start of the fireball's decent and I when I saw the fireball, I asked my friend to stop talking so I could watch this fireball and then I explained that I wanted to hear if there was going to be an explosion or vibration of impact if this fireball. When In view past these tall trees, I was looking up the hill and saw this round, white bright ball descending with a white haze that surrounded the fireball. The hill blocked my view from seeing the fireball's full descent. I heard and felt nothing. In May 2002 in the same location and looking in the same direction I did see a meteor descend and hit the earth's atmosphere and burn up after it hitting earth's atmosphere on the second hit... a small second jump up and then down.
