Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 2

Location: Greenfield Township, PA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Landed

My sister and I were coming home one evening @ 9:00 PM. We were coming up on a stop sign, when out of the eastern sky came this huge fireball, it seemed to have come from nowhere, it fell to the ground in a wooded area. As we passed by where it would have fell to, there was no lights or explosion, so we thought it could not have been a plane crash landing. No one in the area has reported, to my knowledge, any thing strange that night. Less than a month ago, the same thing happened on a busy highway and hundreds of people reported that, only to have local news stations say it was a weather thing.
