Reports Report 3262xk (Event 3262-2018)

Observer
Name Mark M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks There were a few of us lingering and chatting in the parking lot after a neighborhood meeting and I first witnessed a bright fiery explosion of lights come from behind a 60 ft tree and which I asked the others to witness and I thought it was a shooting star? We all stared in awe and said nothing as we knew it was more than we have ever witnessed before. As the meteor shined brightly it seemed to slowly move from right to left and left a trail of lights and small explosions of some kind and seemed to gradually fall to the sky? It must have just been leaving our eyesight which seemed to us that it was losing steam and falling to the ground. I will have the others who witnessed it to report it too.
