I have seen fireballs before and they are very impressive. This one on the 3rd March caused a bit of a stir.

  1. I’ve only ever seen one and I hadn’t heard anything of it in the news the next day which I had thought was odd at the time. It was violet and orange, and it was very pretty. A few weeks later there was a report of a Russian satellite having crashed and all my attempts to isolate the incident suggest this to have been the case. None of my friends had seen it even though we were on a roof and it went right over our heads. :/

  2. (that was not the smiley I was going for)

    I guess that fireball was composed of some unusual stuff.
