Reports Report 2619as (Event 2619-2025)

Observer
Name Morgan W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was SO low to the earth!!! I almost wondered if it was a plane that was crashing, much lower than most planes in the sky, I was driving and it was around the horizon and below. Very bright, you couldnt miss it. It was orange and looked on fire, but definitely a fireball and not a plane. I was just shocked at how low down and close it looked
