Reports Report 4610cb (Event 4610-2023)

Observer
Name Laurie K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were walking down the street when we saw a big ball of fire with a tail in the sky. It was dusk and stars weren’t out yet. It moved much slower than a shooting star, slow enough for me to point it out to my husband to see. It was such a large object and the trajectory was going towards the ground that we thought we’d hear a boom when it crashed. It was an amazing 10 seconds. I just found this website and looked up date/time from when I texted my friends to see if anyone else saw it.
