| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tony R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen quite a few distant fireballs in my time, and they all exhibited color change, (white to blue to orange and red but not close enough to hear it. This one, I only seen the white light and heard the explosions. The only other time I heard them, is when I saw the November, 1966 Leonid Meteor Shower and the sky had a slight sizzling sound which peak my interest in sky objects. |

| Remarks | I was under the front porch and an intensifying bright white light from my left to my right. I didn't actually see the fireball directly just the effects of the light and then heard an almost simultaneous multiple explosions 330 NW over the horizon. My only witnesses are the neighborhood dogs barking across the area after the explosions. Happened too fast to be a plane crash and I hope that wasn't the case. |
