Reports Report 4051y (Event 4051-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bevie H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was still somewhat light out. Also, in the distance, just above the horizon, a new light was visible which isn't normally there. Too high to be from a tower. It changed colors slightly, like viewing a planet. That was the only reason I happened to be looking upwards when the fireball happened. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It reminded me of a ball from a Roman candle firework, except it started or appeared like a bright flash which became a ball in the sky and fell downwards at an angle, disappearing as it fell. A big bright flash, that fell. |
