Reports Report 2959r (Event 2959-2025)

Observer
Name Scott S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks View was partially obstructed by a tree straight in front of me. The ball got quite large (size of my outstretched fist) before quickly burning up (as I interpret it). It felt much closer than shooting stars I’ve seen before.
