| Name | Justin L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was really bright (much brighter than anything else I've ever seen in the night sky) and it happened so fast I don't know if I really saw it enter I just looked up out the window and it was at most maybe just over a second and it was gone. I was on the left side of the car looking out the window in the direction I put on this report, and it moved from right to left and it came from higher up and moved down towards the horizon, I'm not sure at exactly what angle it moved at or how high it was in the sky but it was in my general view looking out the window. It was also way bigger and looked way closer than any shooting star I've ever seen and if I would have to describe it as anything it would be a fireball *which is how I found this site*. Also I'm color blind and it went by really fast so I'm not totally sure what color but it was light and bright. |
