Reports Report 1999a (Event 1999-2013)

Observer
Name Matthew S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was very cool to see! And very bright! I think it was bright because it was so close to my location. Normally when you see something in the sky like this you think far off, like a shooting star. This was definitely VERY close to my location with it being so bright. Please keep me updated on this fireball.
