This report has been linked to the following event: Event 6742-2020
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Brian W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am not sure if this qualified as a true fireball, but I thought I would report it since I have video and know the exact time. Also, the cameras used are NEST security wide-angle cameras, so it probably appeared larger in person than seen on video. The field of view with these cameras is 130 degrees. It happened at 5:29:12 AM CST. People who saw it were talking about it on Facebook, so I searched video to learn I caught it. |
