Reports Report 2445a (Event 2445-2021)

Observer
Name Nadia T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen a meteor shower only “shooting stars” far away and very small and fast but my first thought was this must be a falling meteor, but it looked like an object on fire and I thought about a small plane burning as it fell from the sky. I have never heard of fireballs before this website.
