Reports Report 1932e (Event 1932-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Susan B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was so close that I could see smoke coming off of it, but once the fireball disappeared, I couldn't see a smoke trail because of the darkness. But with the light of the fireball, I could see the trail. I heard a faint hissing sound and then it burned out. It seemed very close. Way different than the far away shooting stars. The time I reported is just a guess because I did not have a watch with me at the time, so allow for a time differential because I really don't know the exact time I saw it. |
