Reports Report 6663f (Event 6663-2023)

Observer
Name Summer W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I've watched a few meteor showers and have seen my fair share of "shooting stars" but this was the most awesome one I've ever seen. So massive and so bright but it went over the horizon immediately after I saw it. I didn't know they could be so big and had never heard of fireballs, so this was a really amazing experience.
