| Observer | |

| Name | m F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The head was very bright glowing white going to yellow around the edges, followed by a very wide orange cone shaped tail that seemed fairly short and wide relative to other pictures I've seen of fireballs. It seemed very low in the sky, and very large. I did not see it fading at all, it passed behind trees that blocked my view. I did hear some noises after the fact but it's not clear they had anything to do with whatever it was. |
