Reports Report 3116ft (Event 3116-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ashley S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen different kinds of explosions before, and I've seen distant shooting stars with white trails, but I had never seen a shooting star turn in to a ball of fire and go out/disappear before it hit the ground, and it was very much directed at the ground. The time offered is estimated as I was outside for a little while before and a little while after, and did not have the ability to note the exact time |
