Reports Report 6296a (Event 6296-2024)

Observer
Name Michael B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I believe this was space junk. I've seen multiple fireball meteors and this did not seem like one. It fell kinda slow but may be due to the steep decent. It was very bright yet there wasn't a huge streak of fire. I did listen as it seemed close but heard no sound.
