Reports Report 1707aw (Event 1707-2026)

Observer
Name Carl C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Looking out my living room window it appeared at the top of the window and came straight down behind the neighboring houses and trees burning bright the whole way down. It appeared to be about twice the size of Venus from the perspective. I would assume that it may have impacted the ground but I can’t say how far away it was because I was inside.
