Reports Report 1624c (Event 1624-2017)

| Name | Morgan R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As I entered the intersection, it was as I began (nano second) to turn East I saw ahead (South) this bright ball with sparks falling West in Golden gate Park. I could see tree tops aglow from the ball light. I may have stared for over 5 seconds wondering what the heck is that? Too big or low for shooting star? I wasn't sure to make a wish. I did. Though I am not sure what it was. There is generally no traffic at that hour on that road (Fulton). I phoned the Park Police (went to voice mail); I phoned my local police Richmond District Precinct. I was told they would send a patrol to go have a look. Now I am writing to you. I hope you can trace it. Thank you! Best regards, -Morgan |
