Reports Report 2071v (Event 2071-2013)

Observer
Name Laura B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very large and bright. I don't know what else it could have been. It looked like one of those fireworks that just look like fireballs but never explode at the end, but it went right across the sky instead of up and appeared pretty much out of nowhere, and then vanished just as fast. It did have a tail, but it vanished with the ball.
