Strange Fireballs over Las Cruces Driving south bound down Valley towards Las Cruces and off to the East I saw 7 fireballs just light up one by one in no particular pattern. Once they all appeared, they were illuminated for about 5 minutes, then they fizzled out in reverse order from when they appeared. The fireballs were not behind the Organ Mountians, they were in front of it. From my vantage point, it looked like the fireballs were over the Massillon Valley Mall area.
