Fireball report

Reports Report 2306fs (Event 2306-2014)

Observer
Name	Mark S
Experience Level	1/5
Remarks	The fireball instantly appeared as a very bright intense ball of light that shot straight down until I lost it behind trees. The trailer was very bright and long also. At first I thought it was just a shooting star but soon realized it was like nothing I have ever seen. I have never saw anything make it that close the Earth's surface before. It was a sight to see!
