Reports Report 1703l (Event 1703-2024)

Observer
Name Cynthia M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was pretty horizontal it was amazing I thought it was some kind of rocket but I ran to another room to wake my husband to see and when ran back within 35 seconds it was gone. It was so large and bright I couldn’t believe it was gone. I went outside and searched the night sky but there was no sign of it. It was incredible. I had seen a space x launch at night and it was amazing but white and you could follow it for some time , not this and it was very bright shades of orange with a big head? For lack of a better word at the front and like a large trail of large orange sparks. It was huge from outside my second story window. I would love to know if this was actually a fireball and if anyone else witnessed it.
