Reports Report 4884e (Event 4884-2022)

Observer
Name Demetra P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball headed towards the moon. If I can try to explain its angle…..It shot North East to South direction towards the moon. It was above Lake Ontario. It appeared and then quickly shot straight and then disappeared. (I’m telling people that it looked like it was gonna hit the moon, because of its trajectory).
