Reports Report 5712bu (Event 5712-2020)

Observer
Name Jennifer Z
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Definitely saw a fireball, my neighbors were with me and all saw the same thing. Definitely was a meteor very close. Tried to be as accurate explaining the experience. I’m hoping a camera in the area got an actual video of it. Unfortunately we didn’t get in on video !
