Reports Report 957a (Event 957-2015)

Observer
Name Jeff R
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was standing by my glass sliding door on my second level deck facing west and the room lit up as if a car light was shining in the room and moving. I know there are no cars out at that time and looked out the door and saw the falling fireball, it was quite bright, with no fragmentation but a wide light trail. I estimate the total time of light about 2 seconds.
