Reports Report 1707bo (Event 1707-2026)

Observer
Name April M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I’ve seen many falling/shooting stars but never seen anything fall straight down towards the ground. I could tell it was huge because even with it being so far away and in mid sky it still looked almost like the size of a softball or soccer ball. Was definitely a sight to see and hope it wasn’t the last time ill ever see one.
