Reports Report 35m (Event 35-2024)

Observer
Name Craig J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was bigger and brighter than videos I have seen online for a meteor. Maybe an asteroid? I have a video of the trail after the fireball went away that I can share. A loud boom was heard shortly after the trail disappeared which was probably 60 seconds after the fireball disappeared.
