Reports Report 4424ik (Event 4424-2022)

Observer
Name Linda H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball was wider than anything I had ever seen- a thick trail and rounded front like several thicknesses of a single shooting star all visible at once like a paint brush stroke for 1-2 seconds. It stunned me that I had witnessed it, expecting it to hit somewhere on this planet.
