Reports Report 5894a (Event 5894-2023)

Observer
Name T C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was playing a stranger's guitar, likely from midnight to almost 12:45 Central Time, and looking to the West, when I saw what looked like a shooting fireball that only showed for what seemed to be 2 seconds or less. 2 people were looking at me when I saw it. I said "Wow!" and asked if they saw the fireball but I knew they were looking at me and only saw my surprised reaction. I saw this link https://www.tiktok.com/@naynay._.fr/video/7282372049136373034 and though this video claims 10pm (I didn't check their time zone), but I suspect it was part of similar event. I only saw 1 fireball, but I suspected there had been more without knowing why I thought there were, or could be more to be seen around the same time. I am often up late nights to early morning and occasionally see sky movement I don't expect, but I haven't seen what I describe as a fireball for years. Peace
