Reports Report 3066a (Event 3066-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tonia W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was larger than typical shooting star, very round, very bright and it fell it a straight up/down line to earth. I was unable to see it near the horizon because our backyard trees were in the way...it disappeared behind the trees. I cannot be sure it was a fireball but I cannot imagine what else it was. I watched videos of space junk entering earth's atmosphere and it looked nothing like that. |
