Reports Report 1285g (Event 1285-2019)

Observer
Name Robert S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It's terrible, but I didn't check the time at all. I wasn't aware I could report these incidents until a friend informed me about your site. So, I was only able to give you my best guess. I'd say it was within 2 hours of the time I provided. I can ask the person I was with if they remember more accurately what time it happened. I was pretty excited and told them all about it, but it was gone in a flash and their back was turned to the window I was looking out of. Sorry, my info is probably worthless w/o an exact time. It was the brightest falling object I've ever seen. Fiery, moving pretty fast. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. NOTE: Time corrected to match other witnesses. RL
