Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | I was in my truck in the parking lot of a restaurant when I glanced up and saw it. At first I thought it was a plane, but then I realized it was moving too quickly, it was a bluish color, and it disappeared. It had to have been a fireball. It was different from what I usually see during meteor showers. It moved almost straight down towards the horizon but disappeared before reaching it. |
