Reports Report 3990a (Event 3990-2016)

Observer
Name Allen F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The fireball had a tail; it was brighter than a full moon; it seemed to be as large as a full moon. At first I thought it was a commercial airplane that had caught on fire and was crashing. I went outside to see if I could hear it crash or see a fireball of flames in the direction it fell. I watched early morning news reports on television to see potential reports of an airplane crash or meteor sighting but nothing was reported
