Reports Report 2635hl (Event 2635-2015)

Observer
Name Joan M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I live in the mountains and the fireball was visible between the southern view from our house and the mountain ridge to the south (Thornberry Ridge). The TV was on and the windows were closed so I didn't hear anything besides our mystery program. It seemed to be slow, in my opinion, and without a long tail - more like fragments of fire behind the main part. I was concerned that it might start a fire so I continued to look out the window to see signs of smoke.
