Reports Report 5550j (Event 5550-2020)

Observer
Name Brian S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I’ve seen a couple meteor showers before. This was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I saw it out of my living room window and ran out the door listen for an explosion of whatever it was when it hit the ground (that’s how low it looked to come down). And it was huge. I saw similar witnesses of the same event on social media.
