Reports Report 4705l (Event 4705-2020)

Observer
Name Scott G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was looking up when I saw the fireball. It was traveling approximately from the northwest to southeast. I have never seen a shooting star so bright or large. It seemed to be under the marine layer. I lost sight of it when it went over the trees you can see on satellite. There was definitely no noise, after it went over I listened carefully because I thought for sure it was going to hit the ground. What an amazing experience.
