Observer
Name Michael K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I herd a odd noise in the sky . That is what made me look up, then I saw the Bright fireball... larger than I have ever seen before. and it stayed bright as it fell and disappeared behind trees in the woods behind my house. Which I would think is realistic to say was miles away from me. That why I came to this sight to see if any one else had seen it...?
