Reports Report 512bn (Event 512-2022)

Observer
Name Warren D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My wife saw it this morning. I jokingly questioned her sanity but she was adamant that she saw something bright falling from the sky. She originally believed it to be a super bright firework on the horizon but it is early morning and -1 degrees outside so it is doubtful to be a firework.
