Reports Report 4582mz (Event 4582-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Erica H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I did not doubt seeing some thing in this sky that was not aircraft and that was also not a shooting star. It felt like a big softball that was lit on fire, and that was slowly going downward, and just exploded with no evidence after the fact. I was sitting in my car after just getting home and happened to look up out the dashboard window. I did not happen directly on my property, but I live in a very hilly , farm area of Georgia and it did look like it was close enough to be a few miles away. |
