Observer
NameBenjamin H
Experience Level1/5
RemarksWe were westbound on US-322 exiting the highway on a downward slope when we (my wife and I) saw a whitish (to her), whitish/pale green (to me) fireball enter our view for a few seconds before it was lost to the tree line. I never have seen anything like it. It was very bright and very big; bigger than I expected a meteorite/fireball to appear to the naked eye.
