Reports Report 8510bk (Event 8510-2025)

Observer
Name Rich G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving north up Bradford Drive towards the cul-de-sac in the passenger seat. I looked out the passenger window and saw what I thought looked like a large fireball for 1 to 2 seconds. It was high in the sky but not directly overhead. It looked almost as if it were directly in our atmosphere unlike shooting stars which appear to be distant. This was different and unlike something I'd ever seen.
