Reports Report 5218g (Event 5218-2024)

Observer
Name Emma D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It looked like it was really close because it was so large, and you could see what looked like a ball surrounded by light with a tail, but by the time I had jumped up to see where it had landed, it had gone. I heard someone else say “I’ve just seen a huge shooting star” in one of the flats below.
