Reports Report 2187ay (Event 2187-2014)

Observer
Name Ryan B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It looked like a shooting star except it came from in the sky towards the earth and I'm pretty sure it hit either a house or the ground. It was crazy and mind of scary after hearing of the sun had that solar flare the other day. I was sitting in my car and had enough time to get my friends attention to look Nd see it also. It was cool to see but kind of scary at the same time !
