Reports Report 3576a (Event 3576-2022)

Observer
Name Sheila J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was a comet shaped, very bright white object. I reported seeing this on the Gaston Facebook page and someone report seeing something strange and that there was “fire”. As far as I know the FD wasn’t called out. I was facing west when I saw it and the treeline hid the streak from me as I only witnessed it for a couple seconds.
