Reports Report 7262d (Event 7262-2022)

Observer
Name Kevin W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Started as a green falling star. Except the falling star fell straight down from straight up in the sky. It was gone for approximately 1sec and then I seen the sky open up and a big green ring in the sky and well look like a potato come through it. It was traveling so fast it scared me and appeared to be coming straight at me. I watched it slow down catch fire a third of it break away but didn’t away travel from the rest of it. I could hear the fire. I could see details of it before it caught on fire and after it caught on fire. It wasn’t spiraling tumbling twisting or turning as it came in, just straight in. I can see the damage it was done by the fire in the whole thing was not burnt black just a nose and up the sides of it. The tail end of it didn’t seem to be affected by the fire hardly at all. I have no idea how fast it was going when I first seen it but it was going considerably slower when I lost sight of it. For perspective if it was going 100 miles an hour when I saw it first when I last saw it it was going 3 miles an hour. It was on the news the next night with one doorbell camera haven’t caught the event. I have no idea who’s doorbell camera that was but I can tell you the details on the TicTac video I have of it aren’t correct other than just the video itself. With the TikTok video my perspective and using kind of a lightning and thunder scale for determining how far away it was when it landed I believe I found where it hit. I think it landed in the water of a ditch about 2 1/2 miles south of my house. I’ve been collecting stuff from this site for almost a year now trying to find something to get a professional to come down there and take a look with me. This has not been easy as I’ve gotten a lot of I rules my direction. I’ve collected some samples of rock that the guy at the local university was unable to identify as well as the guy from the state museum of natural history cannot identify. I have things that resemble things I’ve seen online which I believe do all to be Impactite. I believe it’s still under the ditch. I have a green grass inside of a rock with a brown crust on the outside of it and bluish black in the middle. Today the grass is still green inside of this rock that I cut open to examine. Almost like a fossil that hasn’t died yet. There’s a small island just on the other side of where I think this thing hit, that keeps growing in size. Every covered fossils from the dinosaurs were around and some even older than that all from this island. I have recovered about every type of granite I’ve read about including Gabrielle which only comes from Lava. And most of the granite is magnetic to some extent. I’m not an expert on rocks or things falling out of the sky but I know what I saw and I believe maybe of some importance to people that know more about this stuff than me. I have pictures of things I’ve collected that it doesn’t seem I should have to me like the fossils and etc. I can send
