Date: Aug. 20, 2009 Fireball Sighting %cats=Fireball Reports
Time Of Sighting: 22:30
Report: While looking for shooting stars, we were about to go in when the wife yelled, “Look at that!”
I wheeled around and saw the most brilliant large white fireball rapidly descending towards the Sandia Mountains—to the East of Albuquerque.
It disappeared from view behind our trees, which face the mountains.
No noise or sound…just the “Wow” of our amazement!
