Reports Report 5059i (Event 5059-2022)

Observer
Name Marcus H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was in my car talking on the phone with my sister and I jus seen a skinny bright fireball streak across the night sky and it was bigger than regular shooting stars. It look like a tail from a comet. After I seen it I was looking for a boom sound that would of let me know it was big and hit the ground or building or a sonic boom. So I said to my sis "wow, I jus seen a meteor shoot across the sky and the streak was bright and kinda big". And I said to her "I wish I knew where it landed because NASA will pay good money per gram of the meteorite!!"....
