Reports Report 3807fc (Event 3807-2016)

Observer
Name Maja S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It looked like it was in the hemisphere because the fireball was so large and bright. At first I thought it was a shooting star, but it moved 'slowly' across the sky and never faded or disappeared. Then I thought maybe it was an airplane going down because I'd never seen anything like it before.
