Reports Report 4422bg (Event 4422-2016)

Observer
Name Reece F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks From the trajectory it was moving it should have impacted around the Shacktown - East Bend area. As dry as it has been there should have been a fire but I have not heard of one. What really made this stand out to me was that this was about the size of a SUV; I had never seen a shooting star that looked like that or was near as large.
