Reports Report 168aga (Event 168-2018)

Observer
Name Glenda P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It must have been meteorite debris--as I saw it landed somewhere behind my neighbor's house. This must not be the meteorite that was mentioned on the news, as I felt no earthquake and did not hear a big boom. But it was a spectacular fireball. Flames and all. I'm so glad it didn't hit my house, but I would have loved if it actually landed in my yard.
