Reports Report 2072h (Event 2072-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dariela F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The reason I went back outside was because of the noise. I am still concerned of the low, loud, rumble. I went outside and had no idea I was going to see a sudden bright flash that seemed to be rapidly descending. It's silly, but I'd rather have the noise explained than the fireball. |

| Remarks | Before I saw a bright ball of flash that immediately dimmed, I heard a continuous rumble (like thunder). I went inside and called my boyfriend because it was loud. We went outside and that's when I saw it. The sound can still be heard outside. It is 25 minutes after the flash was seen. |
