Reports Report 4498a (Event 4498-2019)

Observer
Name Cyle N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I've seen shooting stars high in the sky before but this was much larger and I was surprised with how low it was in the sky maybe 2 fingers above the horizon and seemed pretty close for how visible it was. I would assume others seen it since it looked like it was nearly right over the Pasco airport. I googled to see if there was any news as to what it was or if others maybe seen it and came across your page here and wanted to share what I saw.
