Reports Report 2246a (Event 2246-2012)
| Observer | |

| Name | Jane D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball appeared at dusk in the western sky when no discernible stars were out. I could only see a small bright white trail, about three times the length of the diameter of the fireball, which disappeared into the sky at the same time the fireball did. It was quite a spectacular sight to see in a fairly metropolitan area. |
