Reports Report 2930c (Event 2930-2019)

| Name | Jake M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | By far the brightest and most colorful fireball (meteor or space debris) that I've ever witnessed. My friend was with me and managed to catch a glimpse just before it went out of sight behind a building. 2 women on a balcony behind us also saw it and were startled. I'm surprised I haven't been able to find any talk about it online, considering it was visible from one of the densest areas of the country. I and the friend I witnessed the event with are NASA contractors, so I'll have some interesting water cooler conversation. |
