Reports Report 3903ms (Event 3903-2016)

Observer
Name Bridgett O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It seemed very close coming down in front of me in an arc and almost hitting the ground before it burned up. My first thought was maybe space debris since it was so close and small. Later in day I saw the reports of meteor sightings in my area. Could this have been a tiny fragment? It appeared to be maybe softball sized before it burned up. I know the size might be an optical illusion as well as distance, but it seemed no more than 10 feet in front of me. I was stopping for a traffic signal.
