Reports Report 1951a (Event 1951-2011)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robyn J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | After doing my own research online, I came to the conclusion that all this could possibly be was something from the atmosphere that burnt up while falling. From that research the only thing I could deduce was a meteor/fireball. I asked several people if they had ever experienced anything like it, yet no one has but me. |
