Reports Report 5722jj (Event 5722-2024)

Observer
Name Jeri P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks A group of us were sitting in the backyard and some obsevered the fireball. We think it was between 11 and 11:30 pm but didn't check the time. It was a beautiful white and blue ball with a tail that spanned nearly the complete width of our sighting that seemed very close and low. We didn't think to listen for any noises because we were too busy asking each other "What was that?"
