Reports Report 292a (Event 292-2014)

Observer
Name Jim R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It seemed to have a pretty straight West to East trajectory, almost horizontal from my vantage point. It was kind've a dirty yellow with a distinct ball of fire trailed by a couple hundred of fire trail behind it. It wasn't distant like meteors I've seen in the past. I saw this ball of fire go down fully lit up seemingly a mile and a half east of me and was waiting for the boom because it was intact fire ball and tail until it went down.( 2-5 seconds) No vapor trail or noise that I could hear. Quit a sight to see flaming across the sky. Jim
