Reports Report 6105bp (Event 6105-2023)

Observer
Name Lisa N
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I thought it was a shooting star, but it was much lower, brighter and more vivid than any shooting star I’ve ever seen before. It was like a bright star or boom of light shape in the front with a long tail and then it was gone. So I think it was a fireball shooting star.
