Reports Report 454er (Event 454-2017)

|---|---|
| Name | Sheila S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen such a large and bright object coming through the sky. I have seen meteors of the meteor showers every August in Seattle when I was living there, but they were tiny in comparison to what I saw tonight. A one-story building was in front of me so I could only see it travel for a very short distance. It looked to just drop down out of the sky, much more vertically than meteor showers. |
