CalmShock User ID: 5056346 Canada 01/27/2013 11:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did it maneuver at all or straight like a meteor? I saw a fireball in broad daylight about 300 yards away and a couple hundred feet up off the ground. Sat there for 20-30 seconds then shot off at insane speed away from me, then did a 90 degree turn to the left and disappeared over the mountains...
