Reports Report 5942b (Event 5942-2021)

Observer
Name Matt D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Someone said they thought it was a firework. That could be possible. I was at a high school football game and we all said it was a shooting star. I tried to find people who saw it near me or photos, but I couldn't find anything. If this isn't a fireball I could be wasting your time. I just thought it looked cool and want to see a photo of it
