NameBarb S
Experience Level3/5
RemarksIt started as a bright spot of light (like airplane headlights coming in from 2 or 3 miles away from airport), then about 2 seconds later it began having a tail. That's when we realized it was a fireball meteor. It was really cool to share the sighting with a daughter
