Reports Report 5991m (Event 5991-2020)

Observer
Name Marjorie M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was the brightest ball of huge fire I’d ever seen in my life coming down out of the sky and then it just went out right as it came down closer to earth as if it was turned off. I had just walked out onto my front porch to walk my two dogs when I immediately saw it in the sky. My security cameras unfortunately do not point SW which is the direction I saw it, I do have a video of my reaction to it and I even posted on our local Nextdoor app to see if anyone else saw it but I couldn’t find anyone. I looked online to see if I could find out anything about it and I did see there was supposed to be a meteor shower as Haley’s Comet went by on the same night. And then I found your website so I thought I’d report it.
