Reports Report 8014e (Event 8014-2025)

Observer
Name Andie R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving, looked up as I was turning, then I saw it. I didn’t see it come over the top of me, I met in the top third of my front car window and it ended probably at the bottom of that/ top of the second third. It looked like a stereotypical baseball/ tennis/ etc design of the ball trailed by flames. This ball was wide/ broad and ofc dark, so against the sky it just looked like the fire around an invisible sphere. The fire even looked typical for such a design. Some blue maybe, but red and orange. Thin at the nose, just enough to begin the shape, and not much of a lengthy tail like shooting stars I’ve seen, just a mass that fell for a second then disappeared or seemed to implode/ explode with a gunshot sound to follow. I was amazed by the sighting of course bc it, like I said, was so different than any shooting star I’ve seen, but the noise is what caught my attention. I know anything aeronautical or astronomical is nowhere near as close as it seems, but I really wanted to drive and find evidence in a field somewhere close. I know a decent amount about space and whatnot. I promise, it has to be something big or significant at least.
