Reports Report 1750abu (Event 1750-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christina T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I didn't see the exploding fireball itself, but I did see the sky light up suddenly. The entire sky, from my window, became very bright white for several seconds and then faded. I was surprised by the sudden brightness in the sky and felt like "something" unusual had happened. Then in the morning, when I saw the media reports and photos of the fireball, I realized that's what I must have seen. |
