Reports Report 3116au (Event 3116-2024)

Observer
Name Courtney H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I saw the fireball high up and it disappeared behind some tall trees so I didn’t see it break up in the sky. It started out moving at an arched angle and then went straight down before i couldn’t see it anymore. The main ball was green and there were definitely “flames” trailing behind it. It did not leave a trail in the sky afterward though.
