Reports Report 512mk (Event 512-2022)

Observer
Name Sarah L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks the map doesn't show but this is a newer residential neighborhood. I was watching the news and have a west facing window that I saw the flash of a large light ball appear to fall from the sky - my view was obstructed by my neighbors roof - so I'm not sure if I would have seen it longer.... I looked out the front door but saw nothing.
