Reports Report 535d (Event 535-2019)

Observer
Name Sheila O
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks When I saw this occur it seemed rather large and bright with a bright trail. I wondered if it was a meteor because I have seen smaller ones in the past and would think them to be shooting stars as I would call it. I have made this report because I just read on CNN about a possible meteorite touchdown in Cuba.
