Reports Report 898a (Event 898-2026)
| Observer | |

| Name | Lacey C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing approximately 8 ft from the window looking out of it and saw a large white ball fall and disappear. It was closer to the size of a full moon when the moon is high in the sky, not tiny like most shooting stars. I did not see it enter the atmosphere or at the moment it became visible if standing outside, just when it became visible in my window, so I cannot attest to the exact time it was actually viable or how far it fell. I am not sure of the exact time I saw it, other than it was between 11pm-12am EST, most likely between 11-11:30pm. |
