Reports Report 7448w (Event 7448-2023)

Observer
Name Kip A
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Time of my observation was around 6:15 pm PST but is approximate. My girlfriend saw another fireball in the sky around 15 minutes prior to mine while I was driving home from Carson City. Seemed amazingly coincidental that we'd see two fireballs so closely together in our part of the world in such a short period.
