Reports Report 2187cp (Event 2187-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | Jenifer R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I don't even know for certain if it was a meteor, but it truly was a fireball in the sky. It was practically as big as the moon appears in the sky. It was such a bright white flash with orange, not like a true trail, but maybe close. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before. I thought I would report it just in case it really was one. It gave me goosebumps. |
