Reports Report 23id (Event 23-2023)

Observer
Name Vanessa W
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks The fireball lasted for 3-5 seconds. It could have been longer but it came up from behind us. It appeared to our right, fairly high in the sky and was sloping downwards. It was a golden yellow with a light green hue around its head. It did make a sound at any point and I believe it could have burned out high in the sky behind ASDA.
