| Name | Suzy C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My sister and I witnessed a meteorite or fireball around 6:45 PM CST driving home in a heavily wooded area with no street lights in the city of The Woodlands, TX just North of Houston, TX. It was a single, bright flash that burned at the tree tops until about 15 -20 ft in the air and then fizzled out. It was mostly a white flash then as it burned out there was a little spark and then possibly black before fully disappearing. We were thrilled! |
