Fireball over Inverness, FL

The report, as filed

To whom it may concern: Saturday, June 13th about 11 pm Inverness, Florida. My wife and I were sitting by the pool when she seen something unusual and asked me if I seen it. I turned and there was a large fireball moving slowly from the north and turning west. It appeared to be about 500 feet above the trees and was completely silent. We went inside and told our 15 year old daughter Sierra, (aka Digit), and our 50 year old son, Tony what we had seen. My wife (Amanda) and daughter went back outside, Tony wanted me to show him where we had seen it so we went outside also. It had been about ten minutes since we first seen the Fireball when it appeared again. Sierra took a picture with her phone and Tony and I started videoing with our phones. It came from the north as before and again turned and went west. I posted the picture and video on my Facebook page as did Tony, the fireball was much bigger than it appeared in the video. I’m not at all sure what we saw, but I know what it wasn’t… It was not phosphorus, a weather balloon, gas, fireworks, helicopter, or SpaceX. After telling a few friends I now understand why some people are reluctant to mention it. Had I seen the picture and video we posted I would have thought it to be fake. This statement is true and witnessed by the four of us. PLEASE TEXT BEFORE YOU CALL SO I DO NOT BLOCK YOUR NUMBER
