Reports Report 2092aeb (Event 2092-2013)

Observer
Name Gemma W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was 3 separate fireballs that all liked like the ending stream of a big firework. I thought it was shooting star at first, then it was so bright I thought they were part of a firework ( although I never heard or saw fireworks). I didn't realize it was fireballs until I read a news story on my local news that they were visible this morning.
