Reports Report 1891aa (Event 1891-2017)

Observer
Name Tracey J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks II saw the clock 11:24 pm when I took my dog out for her nightly "out." A few minutes later, I was looking at the full moon and the sky was very clear .It looked like a huge ball of fire streaking through the sky - almost like a basketball on fire thrown from the bleachers if you saw it up close in the dark. It looked like it was going towards the UF cow pastures on SW 25th Terrace but it happened so fast and freaked me out (I was just wishing on the full moon, absent a falling star, when it suddenly appeared!) that it was hard to tell if it was really coming from the southwest heading northeast, or was more just west to east.
