Observer
NameCyndel V
Experience Level3/5
RemarksTime is approximate. I was driving southbound on I-87 when I saw the fireball so I missed all the "firsts" (i.e. the parameters describing where it was when it first became visible). However, I saw the light from the fireball reflecting brightly off the clouds, which caught my attention first, a moment before the actual fireball came into view in my windshield.
