Reports Report 6964e (Event 6964-2022)

Observer
Name Jenna C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was very overcast on this evening. The fireball shone through the clouds and the midst remarkably well. I was with 5 other people who all saw it, too, as we gathered around a beloved horse as she was being put to sleep for a fatal injury, and the fireball streaked directly overhead. 💔
