This report has been linked to the following event: Event 5812-2018
Observer
NameRebecca K
Experience Level2/5
RemarksPlease account for the elevation of my observing location. The object itself appeared dark and was clearly spherical, illuminated by a bright leading shield of white fire. It looked quite large, perhaps 10x bigger than the Burbank airport planes from my perspective. The whole event was quick, maybe 1 second. It had a bright tail that disappeared as quickly as the fireball. Thanks for what you do!
