Reports Report 6658a (Event 6658-2019)

Observer
Name Steven M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This fireball was moving straight down . It caught my attention while driving and it was just after sunset so a lot of sunlight was still visible. I believe if was in total darkness it would have been very bright and put on a better show.. it seemed to move slower than a shooting star. It seemed to ficker a little. Bright less bright than brighter. It seemed to do this 4 or 5 times as I watched it fall.
