Reports Report 5566mm (Event 5566-2019)
| Observer | |

| Name | Jason W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Remarkable how bright it was when it first entered its path. Entire Sky lit up and then it flashed again before it died. Thought it was fireworks but it was traveling at the wrong angle and certainly the wrong time of year and area of the sky. Great experience, brightest one I've ever seen burn up, and I've seen a few. |
