Reports Report 1873a (Event 1873-2024)

Observer
Name Renee K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. It looked like a giant shooting star except it moved slower yet it also happened so quickly. It’s hard for me to explain. It occurred directly in front of me as I drove home from work. It was 2 am and a dark county rd with no obstructions. It was breathtaking.
