Reports Report 1339a (Event 1339-2024)

Observer
Name Holly A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I live in a rural area and occasionally see shooting stars; this sighting was nothing like what i usually see. It was a ball of fire that came out of nowhere and traveled in a north west direction. My best guess is it landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
