| Remarks | The fireball was enormous, orange and yellow and left a bright green, spectacular train that disappeared shortly after the fireball went below the tree line. I was sure I would see an impact flash, it was so big! I was in my vehicle with the windows up, and did not hear an impact boom or see an impact flash. |
