Reports Report 2357q (Event 2357-2014)

Observer
Name D R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just happened to look out the window on the way back to bed at 5:12am, to see if the sky was clear and the stars were out. What a huge surprise to see this round white fireball streaking low in almost a straight line from NW to NE till it went behind the mountain. I kept expecting to hear a boom or noise since it seemed so low. But no sound was heard and no other fireballs appeared in the minutes after it.
