Reports Report 2865c (Event 2865-2019)

Observer
Name Allyson N
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I have seen many meteors and this was by far the most awesome yet. It had a short tail but was so so bright. It almost looked like a glowing fireball that was so close it would hit the tree it flew slightly over. Had I not known immediately what it was I would have been very worried about what was happening.
