Reports Report 5610a (Event 5610-2017)

Observer
Name Robert N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I can't be sure of the exact time but know it was between 3 & 5 am. I was returning from a late night motorcycle ride when I saw it. I have never seen anything like in my 35 yes of life and knew instantly this was a metor, it came down at the speed of lighting and had a large flash just above the horizon that lit up the night sky. I was 5-10 mi from any City lights and could see it clearly. I would have shared this info sooner had I known there was a place to share this info, came across this info randomly and am trying to add helpful info to your database from my recollection. There was another fellow motorcyclist riding with me that saw it as well that believes it was a fireball metor as well. If no other reports are filed on this and would like addition info from the other rider, feel free to email me to get his contact info.
