Reports Report 1820l (Event 1820-2025)

Observer
Name Suzanne N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was bright and very visible and last long enough for me to see it well. It wasn’t like I wondered if it was my imagination. I saw it clearly and it was spectacular. It was like a ball flying through the sky downward and almost looked like it would crash into the ground, then it just went away.
