Reports Report 4985bl (Event 4985-2023)

Observer
Name ANDREW A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I live on a hill adjacent from another hill which is used for cell and television towers so it is pretty high up in elevation. The fireball entered my left field of view and the first thing I noticed was how bright white it actually was, as soon as it caught my attention it disappeared over the hill in the direction of Brackney Pennsylvania. I was over at my neighbors for the night sitting around a fire, unfortunately I was the only one sitting in the direction to actually see the bright flash zoom across the sky. It seemed to be very large in diameter due to how bright it actually was.
