Reports Report 1838a (Event 1838-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Samantha H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I observed this object at dawn. I have previously seen two verified fireballs in my life, but both were at night. This event was so strange and memorable because of the early daylight. It was so out of place, at first I wondered if it was a small aircraft crashing. |
