Reports Report 6165w (Event 6165-2019)

Observer
Name ROB W
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was jogging Northbound with a headlight on and a bright reflective hat and the meteor still caught my attention. I literally thought it was a burning projectile from a fireplace or a backyard fire-pit. It resembled a marshmallow when they catch on fire and are flung into the air. I have seen only one other fireball in my lifetime that was of greater magnitude.
