Reports Report 1037by (Event 1037-2015)
| Observer | |

| Name | Jennifer H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was indoors with the blinds closed when I first noticed this object, and my eyesight is not the best (I am nearsighted with a strong prescription). However, the object was so bright and fragmented that it caught my attention instantly and I quickly leaned over to see it better. As such this report may be faulty. However, it was moving downward in an arc and there were no noises (despite clearly hearing traffic noises), so I do not believe it was simply a firework, but rather it seemed more like a meteor. |
