Reports Report 44v (Event 44-2024)

Observer
Name Alia M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw the potential fireball from my living room which has floor to ceiling windows, while I was watching television. It was obviously something extremely far away but so bright and big that it caught my attention (I have never seen anything at that distant in the sky/atmosphere so large and bright).
