Reports Report 4056f (Event 4056-2018)

Observer
Name Tristan R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw the fireball and me having zero experience in the astronomy field, I got curious and looked up a brief description of what I thought it was which was a fireball. It matched the description pretty well so I thought I should report it here. I hope this is helpful to you and I’m very curious as to if anyone else had seen it.
