Reports Report 442g (Event 442-2026)

Observer
Name Manon V
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I don’t know if it was a fireball but it looked just like pictures online. I saw it along with three other girls on the Oregon State University campus and we were scared as to what it was. It came and went really fast and we didn’t see it land anywhere, it disappeared almost immediately.
