Reports Report 3885s (Event 3885-2020)

Observer
Name Robert B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was an amazing view my wife and saw as we happen to lay looking for shooting stars. It was a bright ball of fire ripping through the sky and it was really low. No sounds were heard though. It was probably 4 seconds at least because I turned my whole body to watch it disappear over the treeline.
