| Name | Tim L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | At the time of the fireball, I was outside to see if I could see the Falcon X launch, which I clearly saw about 3-4 minutes after launch. Space X was at about 45-50 degrees elevation and slowly climbing to the south exhibiting a beautiful halo while on a northeasterly direction up the coast. The fireball seemed to cross paths and was very bright. |
