Reports Report 258t (Event 258-2019)
| Observer | |

| Name | Cristian D |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was clearly visible behind the fully overcast sky. A second witness with me also saw the meteor (we were gathered in remembrance of a young family friend, Noah, whom passed away on the weekend returning from work, giving its appearance some sentimental relief). Some potential sighting reports of the same event within eight minutes of my report in the Texas area were also made on Twitter.
