Reports Report 1750jd (Event 1750-2016)

Observer
Name Molly Z
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This fireball was startling to me, I was out on my deck taking my dog out and was looking at the sky noting how many stars were out after we had had some rain earlier and I was gazing out over our farm and what looked like a fireball on the edge of our woods just appeared. I will never forget this experience.
