Reports Report 836d (Event 836-2023)

Observer
Name Conor S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks As my experience level shows, I'm unsure of this being a true fireball. I've never seen anything like it and the fragments stayed fairly together. There was about a 2* tail on all of the fragments while it was moving and the tails were shimmering. I did not see it disappear because I was driving and it did last quite a while
