Reports Report 735p (Event 735-2011)

Observer
Name Teresa R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It looked like a fireball and was quite large for being in the sky. Maybe the size of a grape. It looked like a fireball with a tail. I was able to tell my friend James to look and he also saw it. It shot straight across the sky and disappeared. It looked nothing like a falling star that streaks accross the sky.
