Observer
Name
Ashley M
Experience Level
1/5
Remarks
I was laying in my living room between approximately 10pm-11pm staring out a large living room window. I saw a bright light I first assumed to be a low flying aircraft until it came into focus and appeared as a fireball. I watched it for several seconds before it began breaking apart.
