Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Tuscaloosa, AL, USA

Shape: Fireball

I have seen an orange, slow-moving, smokeless fireball moving through the sky above the University of Alabama.

While in orchestra rehearsal, my friend and I noticed an abnormally slow moving fireball moving leisurely through the sky while looking out the window. It was orange and slow moving, with no smoke and a very short trail. It was much larger than any aircraft I have ever seen. It moved slowly from one corner of the window to another. I thought nothing of it, that it was possibly a meteor, until reading reports recently that describe exactly what I have seen.
