Fireball over Mactaquac (New Brunswick)(Canada), NB · Canada
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting by a campfire, we witnessed a fireball flying above - we were star gazing when this huge round fireball flew by on a circular path, 5 minutes later it flew by again, OR it could have been another fireball on the exact same path above, yet another 10 mins later it flew by again on the exact same path. We didn't have full view as trees blocked us so we couldnt see if it was doing a circle above or if there were 3 different fireballs flying on this path. It was far bigger than an airplane as a plane flew below it at one point at the same time and had clearly different lights and shape. it really looked like a flying fireball. but no trail, no flames following just a glowing red circle with yellow inside. Never seen anything like it!
