Reports Report 1048r (Event 1048-2011)

| Name | Susan M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving home in the dark on Liberty Road that winds through tall fir trees. I saw the fireball through the trees which blocked me from seeing how far away it was; I couldn\'t tell if it landed way far away, but it was large. I\'ve never seen a shooting star or meteor so close or so large. Because of its size, I\'m guessing it was close and not thousands of miles away. |
