Reports Report 5840c (Event 5840-2024)

Observer
Name Sam A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It's very hilly as we live in the mountains so we saw it cresting over a hill. This was also a week and a half or so after hurricane Helene and there's been a lot of emergency helicopters and aircraft in the area, but it was so fast and had the tail of a shooting star and was so large we ruled that out.
