Reports Report 1037jg (Event 1037-2015)

Observer
Name Dan R
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was seated indoors and saw the fireball enter my field of view already in progress. Likewise, it exited my field of view still going bright and in a slightly downward angle. Therefore I did not see the fireball begin or end. It was a beautiful slowish moving blue-green light through the trees behind my house.
