Observer
NameTricia B
Experience Level2/5
RemarksMy husband and I were just finishing tending some heated water buckets for our goats and were standing by the front door when I noticed what seemed like lightning. I looked up and saw the fireball directly in front of me. Unfortunately my husband had his back to the fireball and it happened so fast he only got to see the start and the after sparkles of it and not the actual explosion of the main fireball. I had a completely unobstructed view of it and was directly in front of it as it passed.
