Reports Report 2255al (Event 2255-2026)

Observer
Name Kevin T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Had just stepped outside maybe approximately 9 or 9:30 PM-ish?but at dusk/not completely dark yet/ I am 68 years old and This was the Brightest Shooting star and Lowest I have ever seen !!! Initially/Very briefly thought it could be a small plane as it appeared to be on a trajectory on approach or directly over our local Pine Hollow Airstrip (small planes) and very briefly thought a crash might be about to occur but nope !!! My house is in a very rural dark-sky area thus I frequently am out stargazing into the wee hours and it is fairly regular to see shooting stars but Way Way out there and sometimes see what I speculate to be orbiting satellite that sometimes I can locate on my smartphone Sky Guide app… I did a Google search and stumbled upon this fireballs.imo.net website so i decided to report my very first very bright white meteorite . . . Thanks ! ! !
