Reports Report 512oi (Event 512-2022)

Observer
Name Rebeca A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I had no idea what I saw but remember as clear as day and thought in my mind it was a shooting star but read in the news that it was a meteroid actually. I did not reference any article in providing my observations. I'm farther north than most article and I know what I saw and thought it could be useful information for scientists to use in their data since I am located further away than what was mentioned.
