Reports Report 2677cy (Event 2677-2013)

Observer
Name Karen D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This fireball was traveling due west horizontally in a straight line looking north to northwest. It was very bright while traveling leaving almost no trail. It was odd to see one so close to the earth as it traveled and so bright as it traveled. I was out walking in the dark when it caught my eye.
