Reports Report 2187mc (Event 2187-2014)

Observer
Name chuck v
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks There was no notable trail or direction for the fireball. From my perspective, it appeared to be coming at me (no warning, just a growing light), then it flared much brighter, and completely dissipated. It almost appeared that the trajectory was directly at me (or my area), as opposed to it crossing my field of vision.
