Reports Report 899c (Event 899-2024)

Observer
Name Olivia F
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My husband and kids saw something similar yesterday in the southwestern sky from Springdale AR around 6pm while we were driving. I didn’t see it so I can’t comment on it only that they were remarking that it looked like a huge falling star very close to us and my husband was surprised and wasn’t sure what it really was, as it seemed so near. The one I saw tonight out my window while lying in bed also seemed very near and large, I’ve never seen a falling star that looked anything live that.
