No of observers: 4

Location: Mountain Home, ID, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

We were living just outside of Mountain Home on Beet Dump Rd. My son pointed to the sky and yelled for us to look. My husband, myself and our two sons saw what we thought was a metorite or fireball coming in a horizontal angle to the ground. We could see fire and smoke. It looked like it was going to hit the ground near I-80.

We checked the news and internet but never heard about it being reported. It was very strange.

Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD
