Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1
Location: Kennewick, WA, USA
Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object
A fireball, half the size of the sun and covered by a thin cloud, appeared in the eastern sky.
I saw, halfway up in the eastern sky, a huge fireball. It appeared to be half the size of the sun. However, a small thin cloud covered it which created a hazy appearance. I watched it for about two minutes. It suddenly disappeared and so did the cloud.
At first I thought it was the sun, then realized the sun should be higher up in the sky. After moving a few steps I could then see the sun as well. The sun was higher than the fireball and to the left of it.
