| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jordan G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Unfortunately Didn’t see the fireball itself; just the flash and sky lighting up as I was driving late at night. Was almost like a long lightning strike that lit up the entire sky for a few seconds. But it couldn’t of been lightning, as we don’t have storms that produce lightning in Saskatchewan in the winter. It varied in intensity, and produced multiple colours. |
