| Name | Kevin B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving westbound on the road and my "bright" headlights were pointed into a hillside directly in front of me about 15-20 yards. The fireball showed up clearly brighter than the light on the hill, and because of the top of my windshield and the hill line I didn't see where it started or ended behind them. It had lots of small redder offshoots curling to either side, but even with my brights filling my vision the distinction in color between these and the core fireball was startling. |
