Reports Report 7919cz (Event 7919-2025)

Observer
Name Thomas B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Sky was clear and I had a clear view on either side of the fireball. It seemed as though it appeared out of nowhere and was the closest in distance of any fireball or meteor I have ever seen. It looked like it was only a few thousand feet above the tallest pine trees. It was wild to see.
