Reports Report 172xd (Event 172-2023)

Observer
Name Key G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks There were 3 of us sitting down in our woods by a small fire looking at the stars and saw the shooting star/fireball/meteor streaking over the sky! It was beautiful!! I SO wish we could have caught it on video, but weren’t expecting it and it happened so quickly. January 10 is a special, emotional day for our family, so we will never forget what we considered to be a “gift”… ✨
