Reports Report 732a (Event 732-2008)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Connie K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I think the trajectory is likely off; I did not see much of a tail, mainly the explosion. I felt like it was coming at me, not across or down the sky. I was at a party at the time and happened to be watching the beginning of the sky change before sunset when I saw it. |
