Reports Report 1923eh (Event 1923-2024)

| Name | Willis G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be very large, making it look closer than any meteors I’ve ever seen come across the sky before, almost scary. A house blocked my view of what I would guess would be the last half of its entry. When I got around the house that blocked my view I could no longer see anything but was looking to see if somehow it made impact somewhere, it seemed that close for me. I also thought it might be space debris because I observed something similar in color, not as bright and not as large and further away in the distance about a year or two ago, and the next day they talked about it on the news that it was an old satellite or something of the like re-entering. |
