Reports Report 2591bi (Event 2591-2022)

Observer
Name Colin M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was a dramatic, if fleeting sight. My initial take was that it was something significant. But then I did not hear anything (I was in a car at the time, so that does factor in), and I did not not see anything after the approximately 1 second fireball. It's distance from me was definitely not easily determined. It seemed like it might have been quite close, but I know academically that observing these type events can be very deceiving. I was excited to hear 2 days later that it was indeed something quite significant!
