| Name | Maria S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | fuzzy about left to right or right to left....but it had a mostly horizontal slightly horizontal trajectory. I was confused by your interactive map. BUT, I am sure I was driving mostly south on the s-curves of route 47 and I saw it over the trees. Outside the leonids of 2001, this is only the second fireball I have ever seen and it was AMAZING |
