Reports Report 2635kl (Event 2635-2015)

Observer
Name Dantona J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This breathtaking fireball grew in size and intensity as it streaked across the sky and was the largest I had ever seen. While it certainly was not nearly as large as the Russian fireball a couple of years back, it brought memories of that event as its size grew quickly. Radio was on in car so no sound observed.
