Reports Report 2957e (Event 2957-2025)

Observer
Name Clayton R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving so the location and direction is approximate, and I had my windows up so I may have missed a sound if there was one. The fireball started quite large, almost moon-sized, and about halfway through it became maybe a quarter of the size. I didn't see any glowing fragments come off of it, so if there were any they were dark. It disappeared near the hill line and I can't be sure if it went behind the hill or ended just before it, but I think it ended before it
