| Name | Alejandra P |

| Remarks | At first we, my niece and I, thought it was a shooting star, but as I described it to my husband afterwards he knew it wasn’t a shooting star. He said it was either a meteoroid or something similar. The fireball was visible for less than 10 seconds, starting off as a ball on fire falling from the sky followed by a big white flash then id disappeared. |
